This is an English website based in Romsey, in the County of Hampshire, England.
Due to problems encountered during the time of the author's worsening hearing and now with no hearing at all, she felt it time to set up a website which might be of interest or help to others who find themselves in the same situation.
NOTE: I have now had a Cochlea Implant since October 2015. Its really wonderful so do read up about the service from the links page. My implant is organised by the Audio Implant Service at Southampton University. Regular tests are no longer needed, but repairs/replacements are always available.
COMMUNICATION
It's all about how best to Communicate with people
who are deaf or hard of hearing...
If your ears let you down
You miss the important points
You miss all the funny bits
You get fed up asking for repeats
You have to READ all about it
Lip reading is hard and sometimes impossible
Sign language is both hard and limited unless others can reciprocate
...........Writing it all down is..........
T . E . D . I . O . U . S
Shouting is DEAFENING!
