Often I'll figure out what was said about two seconds after saying "wait, what?" Sometimes I won't! Keeping the subtitles on all the time was such a revelation.

So people speak to me in another room and it is total garble and it doesn’t help that I have ADHD and I am almost always focused on another task when people talk to me as we are probably doing something which is why we aren’t in the same room (think “can you get this for me?!?” Kind of shouts in a house). I often have to ask three times for a repeat. So now I just say “I can’t understand just wait and I’ll come to you.” Like I thought that was normal but my wife does not have this issue and neither do others I know. dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 01:54 on Oct 16, 2023 |

That is what you are describing, unless your hearing loss is so bad you can't understand someone speaking directly to you without looking at their lips.

I do know the noisy one sounds like every restaurant and I often don’t know a waiter is there at all until someone at the table nudges me and tells me what they are asking freeedr has a new favorite as of 03:58 on Oct 16, 2023 |

I have both auditory processing disorder and am almost entirely deaf in my left ear. It's a distinct difference in what's causing the issue. I can't even really lip read but it does tend to help me when it's the lack of hearing causing it. I can usually tell when I can't hear because of lack of sound or because there's essentially too much or conflicting sound. It feels distinct to me.

I can often hear alarms from a further distance than other people, but can miss people calling my name from within the same room.

(Still inexplicable; idiopathic unilateral hearing loss has a few reasons, but an MRI didn't turn up any signs of a stroke or burst blood vessel.) Immediate and intensive treatment resulted in the ability to hear some tones in that ear, but speech sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher speaking over a broken PA, completely indecipherable. At boardgame days, I have to put myself in one specific position at the table, and even so, if the store is noisy, it's still a huge challenge to hear and participate. I too have huge problems with any sort of background noise (TV being on, dishwasher being run, etc.) My doc wants to wait a couple of months to see if any hearing comes back on its own, but if not, there are these things called CROS hearing aids, which are basically a mic in your bad ear and a receiver in your good ear. Have you tried those, freeedr?

Have you tried those, freeedr? I have not. I looked at CROS and BAHA, but from what I last read, most hearing aid solutions up to and including cochlear implant don’t show huge changes in actual ability to function in day to day life for SSD people. I’ve been deaf for forty years at this point though, so it’s what I’m very used to. Honestly most people around me don’t even know I’m deaf on one side. Also I lucked out in that I have not had any chronic tinnitus at all. Many SSD people have ringing to contend with on top of it and I can’t imagine how much more that would compound the issue.

That video made me realize how often I am in those situations and at age 42 I should get my hearing checked. It's been a long time. Was at the ENT a few weeks ago for my son and they remarked that a ridiculously high percentage of people over 40 are having hearing loss. Not sure if that's new, but maybe all those concerts weren't a good idea

Dunno if there's a thread for deaf / HoH discussion or if this one is the go-to, but as a deaf guy with a cochlear implant and hearing aid I'd be up for griping further about how folks somehow talk too loud while still making no sense, how much we hate earwax, and other related things

TraderStav posted:That video made me realize how often I am in those situations and at age 42 I should get my hearing checked. It's been a long time. The worst part of all this is I've been relatively careful about my hearing pretty much my post college life -- earpro when mowing with a power mower or in my wood shop, earplugs when needed, etc. The audiogram for my good ear showed only minor degradation from normal. The lesson is not of course "gently caress it all because bad poo poo can strike you out of the blue," sudden total hearing loss is a pretty rare thing to have happen, more that it's just frustrating after taking precautions for so long. And gently caress tinnitus. I get whooshing and ringing alternately in my bad ear. It's maddening. If someone with more experience opened a thread I'd love it, but I've only been struggling with this for a month so my experience is pretty limited.
