Hey, Deaf/HoH people - I'm wondering, does it feel silent in your head? Especially if you lost your hearing rather than never had it.

I'm just hoping that if my hearing just goes away altogether, my head will quiet down. It's always so buzzy and loud in there. 😔

I definitely need to arrange a hearing test soon. Last one was 2024 (as shown).

I've been wearing my hearing aids all day every day, only taking them off to shower or sleep. I used to be able to converse with my husband without them, but not any more.

Just took them off to adjust them whilst watching TV, which was at 'normal' volume, & it was like someone had muted the TV 😐
