…but I wear hearing aids.
Got diagnosed with otosclerosis about 20 years ago…seems to be holding stable. I wear hearing aids and need them most of the time. If they are out, I can somewhat make out what people are saying and stuff, but it’s definitely impossible for me to hear music/sounds/etc at a normal level like I used to.
I’ve been wanting to get into proper audio equipment again (I used to have separate components, speakers, etc when younger…MUCH younger). But with my journey of hearing loss, I’ve been at a loss for purchasing anything.
Just wondering if there is anyone else in this group who can relate? If so, how do you cope? If I take out my aids in my house I’d have to crank up the volume to hear things like everyone else, not to mention frequencies being missed out. I’m in Asia by the way (said I needed a flair).
