Hearing test

[Jazzy]

Do you ever get your hearing checked?

 

[NewCreation435]

Yes, I have some hearing loss in my left ear in particular.

 

[Forgiven1]

Once a year at my annual physical.

 

[tango]

Not a formal hearing test. There are enough things going on in daily life that I can get an idea of whether my hearing is starting to fade.

 

[siddhi koli]

I am hard of hearing since birth

Do you ever get your hearing checked?

My parents harbored suspicions about my potential hearing loss, considering the family history. They eventually confirmed that I had indeed lost some of my hearing, but the exact timing remained a mystery. Choosing to stay proactive, my parents made the decision to enroll me in a deaf school at the age of three. However, I found myself in the basement, among students with profound hearing loss, and felt like I didn't quite fit in with the others on the upper floors.
Despite the initial placement, I remained at the deaf school for a while until my parents decided to withdraw me and enroll me in a regular elementary school. Skipping the first grade, I jumped straight into the second grade, finding myself two years older than my peers. Enduring moments of embarrassment due to my age, I persevered through both elementary and high school, putting in extra effort to overcome challenges.
Despite the hurdles, I successfully made it to college and eventually embarked on a career as a designer for a large company—one that notably parted ways with Trump. Through determination and hard work, I navigated a unique educational journey and emerged with professional success.
