Barrie had to have an operation on his ear this year because he totally lost all of his hearing on his right side. He was already deaf on his left due to a stroke. He has
been completly miserable all Summer until he got the 2 hearing aids. You will know how hard it is for the person concerned also those around them. I tend to be a bit over protective sometimes.Anne x
I'm sorry I laughed at rosie10's post Anne, it just struck me funny at the time. I do understand some of the problems though as my Daughter has had terrible hearing trouble since childhood, she's now 25, she has worn hearing aids in both ears for a long time now, to make matters worse, she contracted maningeicocal septicemia when she was 13 and almost died, sadly this left her hearing even worse, she has since had a mastoidectomy on both sides, this had complications of it's own at the time, her hearing has improved slightly, but she still needs her hearing aids, although she doesn't wear them all the time, but should! I think it's because she can't wear the tiny digital ones, as she has constant infection in her ears it quickly blocks them so has to wear the behind the ear ones, which she's very conscious of, she has been through a lot but has coped extremely well. Sorry again for laughing, but believe me, I do know it isn't a funny subject.
