Following this thread as I am a bilateral hearing aid user planning to apply for 2021. Be interesting to see any common problems or issues that deaf students have at Uni.

Mildly deaf here with hyperacusis and Auditory processing disorder. Took ages to get diagnosed because apparently I cant have both hearing and sight loss. Bizarre.
My hearing loss is a rare side effect from medication I take.

Sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, ranging from moderate to severe. I hate wearing hearing aids, so I rarely wear them. No one seemed to notice at first, even with my stunted speech as a child. I am constantly asking people to repeat their names or what they just said, especially if the surrounding environment is louder than average.

No, thank God. I do feel bad for those of you that are though.

being deaf isn't something to pity. we have our own culture and community and learn from each others experiences, this comment is pretty rude.

Moderate to severe hearing loss in both ears (although it fluctuates so at times it's mild to moderate). Also suffer from regular tinnitus and noise sensitivity. I have BAHAs for both ears although one screw fell out last year it's replacement is delayed due to covid and tbh I don't wear them as due to my noise sensitivity they cause bad earaches even on the lowest setting

Hey folks I've had to edit a few posts as TSR doesn't permit the promotion of group chats on other platforms in order to protect the privacy of everyone who uses the site. I hope this is understandable with everyone.

I never meant it to come across that way, I just mean I sympathise with anyone who is deaf.

Because ya lot dumb, things like this may not seem rude but they’ll be offensive to some people

It has not changed how I feel, though.

My left ear is completely useless. Got a hearing aid on the right as that’s half deaf. Completely dependent on that one
