No one ever explained this to me until recently. For example I am at a 100 to 110 DB loss, I am on the edge of being able to use hearing aids, and having to go for a Cochlier Implant. Next time you go to the doctor, ask about your hearing loss. I know numbers do not mean alot, because I am sure that depending on the person and situation we can either function better or worse than that number. I am learning, so sorry if I got something wrong. </div><div><br><br>Marsha drenth <div>Sent with my IPhone </div><div><a href="http://adventureswith2feet4paws.blogspot.com">http://adventureswith2feet4paws.blogspot.com</a> </div></div><div><br>On Mar 21, 2013, at 3:31 PM, Sheila Leigland <<a href="mailto:sleigland@bresnan.net">sleigland@bresnan.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-WEIGHT:Normal;">Hi, Janice, I'm totally blind and use hearing aides in both ears.
