You have my sympathy.  I'm fully Deaf myself, have been since I was 12.  I'd suggest taking a sign language class somewhere.  your community college, a church, or a Deaf center in town.  It isn't hard to find a class these days.  It might not seem really important now, but as your hearing lessens, it will.Get it over with now or it will be harder later.

Hello, I have my hearing test on the 12th. 

I do not know what they will find, my hearing I think is becoming more of a challenge. I have really bad inner ear issues of late and I have some ringing, I think that is what it is, like everything is an echo tunnel! So I find myself not wanting to go out to crowded places because I cant hear when people try to call to me or just try to talk to me! Even my phone is on the loudest level and if I am out, I have problems to understand what a caller is saying that is if I hear my phone! I actually have stopped answering the phone when I am out because of this!  I think they will try to tell me I need allergy shots   again  but, I cant take them anymore because of my ms. Any kind of shot causes me to pass out woe. I even have to lay down if they need to draw blood otherwise  I pass out when my lips turn blue woe!

So is their a specific test I should ask for? I do not want the general hearing test because  it always seems to be in a controlled environment. NO one has ever said why my ears ring and I get that echo tingling tunnel affect! It is real annoying because my ears buzz and they iche inside of my ear! Does this happen to anyone else? 

Thanks cheers Heather
