I might need a hearing aid?

June 30th, 2009
Garfield asked:


My left ear has swelled shut, to the point where I cannot hear a thing out of it. It has been this way for a few days now, but I’ve always had problems with it. It feels like a cork is blocking the opening, but nothings there. Should I see a doctor?

I’m a 26 year old college student and I’m hard of hearing. I wear two hearing aids and I was born with a hearing loss and have suffered anxiety, depression and social isolation because of it.

I’m curious to know if there is anyone else out there who has also experienced this and is hard of hearing as well. I don’t know anyone who is, as most of my friends have normal hearing so I don’t know anyone who can relate to me on this issue. Is there anyone out there??

My mom is 80 and has severe hearing loss. She is on many meds. She keeps hearing noises that no one else can hear and it’s driving her crazy. HELP! Also she hears this at her home, but no where else and she has a hearing aid that when she wears it, she doesn’t hear these noises.
