As someone who is losing their hearing slowly in their mid-30s I have to agree with you. It IS devastating. Yes its happening slowly due to a brain condition that comes ans goes, but having just received my first hearing aid and realizing how much I was missing that 10 years ago I could hear, I cried. I missed hearing paper rustling and the sound of socked feet walking in a home. But in a way I didnt realize I wasnt hearing that until I could again, and finding out its not reversable has been devastating - I actually need an aid in each ear but cant afford it. And now getting used to it, the batteries, things that people who have had a hearing aid their whole life maybe dont even think about is a real challenge for me.

Add to that I have other physical disabilities (the aforementioned brain condition, chronic pain, arthritis of the cspine just to name a couple), and mental illnesses including PTSD and MDD and GAD with 4 other anxiety related conditions) I have had longer to get used to the rest. This needing a hearing aid or I cant hear conversations in the room with me is new, and I am having a really really hard time adjusting to it. Much harder than all the other conditions I have. And I dont even know why. But anyway sorry for rambling, youre right is my point, it is devastating and also hard to handle when it happens to someone who had normal hearing until recently. I love my aid because it makes everything so much easier to hear but amazingly, I love turning it off when things get too loud just as much and I wonder if thats normal...
