i have lost 20% of my hearing in the last ten years.

whoever told you that is wrong and does not know much about hearing. putting hearing loss into percentages? uh yeah, ok. i mean that's probably a pretty reasonable way to do it if you're a complete dumbass.

the hearing test people? i mean they showed me a chart and everything. i have broken fibers.

PPl won't go to my msn thread to see a bunch of drunk Canadians riding a moose in the water and it's really pissing me off.

it's just not a good way to explain it. more than likely your hearing is still normal for low frequencies and probably even for mids. so 20% of what when you still hear most sounds normally? exactly. maybe post the chart though and we can all talk about it even more. wow this is so fun!

well, well, well. looks like we found our class clown, huh? let me ask the rest of you guys this- if your favorite animal was a noise color, what noise color would it be and why? can't wait to see what kind of hilarious situations evolve from this hypotetical.

i just lol'd at my desk when i matched up a dolphin with brown noise. so absurd.

Dr Rick Daris · « **Reply #659 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:38:43 PM »

well now i just thought of a white noise squirrel and while it's obviously not as roll on the floor hilarious as the brown noise dolphin it's equally absurd. maybe even more. i mean that image and that sound together? omfg. i am literally in tears i'm laughing so hard. good thing it's lunch break and the two people who work close to me are both at lunch. they would really be wondering about me over here.

I IRL have shitty hearing. it kinda pisses me off. my maternal grandmother's parents (my great grandparents) were deaf mutes and I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I've always just assumed it does.

ok. let me ask you these things next- are both ears the same or is one NOTICEABLY better than the other? why do you feel like your hearing is bad? difficulty understanding in noise/challenging environments or all environments? does it sound like people mumble some of the time? any pain, pressure, ringing in your ears?

ears are the same as far as I can tell. can't understand what people say. like, have to ask "what?" all the time. don't know on environments, will start paying more attention. yes to mumble. no pain, pressure, or ringing.

Dr Rick Daris · « **Reply #666 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:59:40 PM »

so i have just diagnosed SD with noise induced bilateral high frequency sensorineural hearing loss. no surgical interventions are possible with this, but you could probably benefit from amplification if you deemed your situation bad enough to warrant it. the reason you are struggling, is that human speech is complex and primarily made up with sounds between 500-5000Hz. with your high frequency loss, you are missing out on information that allows you to hear and tell the difference between soft high frequency parts of speech like t, k, f, s, sh and ch thus making it sound like people are mumbling when in fact they are not. NEXT!

slobber · « **Reply #667 on:** June 25, 2015, 01:03:06 PM »

I need some hearing aids, too, sd. My bro got them when he was 22. I just keep putting it off.

everyone mumbles.

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #670 on:** June 25, 2015, 01:08:30 PM »

I have some similar symptoms to SD. It seems like people mumble a lot and I do have trouble hearing in noisy areas....sometimes I think I hear too good because I can hear the other noises instead of people's voices...Is that weird?

Also, Gooch is always complaining that I say, "What?" too much. Also, I have this thing where sometimes I figure out what they said right after I said "What?"

RD can you give me diagnosis?

there is no such thing as hearing so good that it makes it difficult to understand speech. it doesn't work like that. have you always had difficulty in noise or is this new/recent? how long? sudden or gradual?

Dr Rick Daris · « **Reply #673 on:** June 25, 2015, 01:18:00 PM »

so maybe a fattyfest auction item next year should apparently be a pair of hearing aids?

You know when Professor X first used Cerebro and he had trouble distinguishing all the voices? It's like that.

I don't know if it has been my whole life but it has been this way for a long time. I don't think it was caused by The Carney Encore even though they gave me tinnitus 2 years in a row.
