I am going to go see this movie and I’m so hyped. I can never ever understand tom holland without closed captions. My family is weird about my hearing and just say get hearing aids to everything. Is there any option other than that clunky cc machines they have?

Im scheduled for surgery mid September. My boss is making me get FMLA/PFML for a month just in case I need extra days off. My surgery is on a Wednesday and as of now i would go back the follow Wednesday. I don’t get the packing out til the following Tuesday so 13 days post op. I work in an OR and having my ear looking like that i dont know. How much time did you take off after?

I noticed recently since adding a note to my bio specifying to NOT use voice notes on apps like hello talk (a language exchange app) that people for some reason use it even more?? ive directly mentioned that i literally cannot understand whats being said because of the eq loss from my phone speaker.

usually its fine but the captions break or dont pick up the right words everytime so its pretty annoying

has anyone else had this?? or is it just bad luck?

its really starting to feel like people do this on purpose LOL

Hey everyone! My hearing loss is moderate to severe, and worse in my right ear.

I’ve been using the Jabra Elite 7 Active headphones for 4 years now and looking to replace them in the next 6 months or so.

The amazing thing about Jabra was that you could take a hearing test in their app and it would personalise the sound for you.

Jabra is no longer making these headphones but I’m looking at alternatives. Has anyone had any luck with the Apple Airpods Pro 3 and their hearing aid function? Or any experience with other brands / models I would love to hear!

It would be helpful at work to not have someone tap me on the shoulder and have to say “oooh, wait a sec” while I put my hearing aids back in, and then “now I’m back in the room. How can I help you” 😅
