Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with hearing loss exhaustion? I didn't even realise it was a thing until recently...
I have single sided deafness but my 'good' side is having a rapid decline to the extent I rely almost entirely on lip reading and physical cues. My audiologist said this can be draining as I'm in year 13 so have to attempt to lip read in English as Well as in Spanish and French for my a2s(!!)
Basically it's exhausting me by lunch time to the extent I can barely focus in afternoon lessons. I know should tell my school but I'm worried about it sounding ridiculous...
Btw I have another appointment to try and combat the loss but its not for 2 months and I need advice for in the mean time :/
TIA

If you tell your school they might be able to arrange t so you can work more from books or something, I know speaking/listening are a big part of languages (you're brave doing them!) but I'm sure there's other stuff just that's what I happened to think of first. There's also exam arrangements and things but I'd imagine that's similar to previous years for you.
Hope you manage to sort things a bit soon!

You might also be able to ask somebody on the medical side like your audoligist if they know anything that could make things easier.
Good luck in your appointment by the way.

Definitely tell your school. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but you might be entitled to some extra exam time and perhaps other help.
