Update about my deafness, and it isn't good news.

I added my thoughts plus my recent audiogram to the top of my high frequency hearing loss piece from 2024, after my updated hearing test last weekend.

Being deaf: High-Frequency Hearing Loss & Me

In this personal post, I write about being deaf, my high-frequency hearing loss & my deafness experiences in the UK. Plus, my shiny new hearing aids!

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 😐

My most recent hearing test. Highlighted area is 'normal hearing'. Loss in all frequencies but profound loss in high frequencies, which means speech sounds like a bad telephone signal on a call, whilst I'm underwater. 🫥
