Dealing with Quiet Talkers: Tips and Strategies

Looking for suggestions with my Bone Anchored Hearing Aid and music

Based on the provided context, it's suggested that you might want to consider getting a second opinion or having your hearing retested. It's also mentioned that auditory processing disorder could be a potential issue, which wouldn't necessarily show up as **hearing loss** in a traditional sense. Some people with similar issues have found help through learning sign language, using hearing apps on their phone, or joining support groups. However, these are just suggestions and it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.

Struggling to Hear Low Sounds, Need Advice

Looking for Suggestions on Hearing Aids with App Compatibility

I have hearing aids for moderate **hearing loss** and also have auditory processing issues from autism. I love my hearing aids personally, but I use them with a ConnectClip, which I had to purchase myself (although apparently you can apply for grants from places like universities, charities, etc to pay for them). This allows me to turn down background noise and turn up the sound coming towards me or the clip, so I can also give the clip to my university lecturer to hear basically only her, or I can put it in the middle of a table and hear what people are talking about, but people further away are too quiet to hear. Even without the clip, my hearing aids are wonderful, I can hear music, birds, my friends' voices are clearer, and having conversations is easier. Sure, I have more wax, but that's a small price to pay for the benefits the hearing aids give me. I also clean the wax from my hearing aids by simply using dry cotton buds, it's quick and easy to do. You shouldn't have any feedback or ear pain. If you are, you should talk to your audiologist, and they should help you find a solution.
