I feel like I’m losing it

Everyday I turn my hearing aids up a little louder, try a little harder to pay attention but I’m at my wits end!!

My class mates sit and talk all class long and where I know I can’t expect everyone to not talk for a 3 hour long lecture, but so incredibly frustrated that I can’t hear what the teacher is saying at the front of the room because it’s garbled with the 63 voices behind me.

I’m so angry I want I to cry- I’m trying so hard to battle every barrier with grace and ease but sometimes you need a hot bath, a good cry and to retract the lecture to yourself

Throwback to this epic happening.

the biggest meniere’s disease dilemma i’ve encountered thus far is resisting the urge to buy one of those ear wax removal elephants they have at the ent. those things feel like heaven when your inner ear fluid is acting up and your ears feel full.

Deaf Problem #64

I always point characters in movies or TV shows where they have conversations with each other far away. I'm like how can they understand or hear each other clearly. That's some unrealistic expectations.

As a deaf person, I see OUAT musical episode worthless and it doesn't help with the context of storyline at all.

Edit to add: it's repetive from season 1. Tell me something that will fill the plot holes instead of repeating what I know already!

Deaf Problem #17

I cannot whisper for the life of me. If I do, it’s more like a loud raspy voice than a whisper.

Having tinnitus after taking my cochlear implant after long day is legit the worse feeling ever.

when your boss doesn’t get it that i’m deaf and I can’t speak on phone with her. It’s great how she is inclusive but there are limits what i can do. lol
