I mailed in my "hear now" application yesterday |

In about 6 weeks I will have hearing aids again. I have been without ears for almost a year now,I think that contributed to that horrible bender I went on in july. Because I am so isolated when I am without hearing aids.
Oh well, I can't wait. I'll let you all know when I get my ears finally.

The worst is when people get visibly annoyed when you ask them to speak up or repeat themselves. I have been holding off going to group, I'll start going when I get my ears again.

People think I am rude or ignoring them, when I just can't HEAR them. Say something to my back--sorry didn't hear you. Forget noisy restaurants. It can be very exhausting being hearing impaired.

4. Yeah, it's very maddening. |

Some people also tend to think I'm stupid because I can't hear them.
I was at a restaurant with a table full of friends. When the waitress took my order, my ex repeated every question she asked. The waitress got annoyed and asked if I NEEDED everything told to me twice. Everyone at the table blurted out, "HE'S DEAF!"....that waitress turned several shades of red and I thought she was going to end up purple!! She never apologized, but after shutting her down in front of the whole restaurant, I didn't need one.
