I hope that your hearing is doing fine also.

| | | My hearing seems to get worse every year. I cannot understand half of what is said on the TV, and unless I really concentrate, I need to ask people to repeat things. Some of it may just be because I am getting older, and I remember my grandmother having trouble hearing. It could just be another thing I inherited. I keep thinking I should get it checked, but that's one more doctor to see, one more hassle with the insurance.....I get so tired of it all.

| | | 20 to 30% hearing loss in both ears and hearing aids would help, insurance does not cover them , so I have to see what they will cost and find the money. |

| | | There are several type 2 diabetics in my family, all of them older than me, and they all have developed hearing problems. Until now I figured it was just a normal condition of aging.

| | | I have slowly been losing my hearing.I've had my ears checked several times for irritation or earaches but I have had problems since I was a child with my ears. I've not had them checked,however for hearing. I know that I should,I just haven't yet. It's very aggravating for myself and for others that try to tell me something. But It seems to me that everyone else around me is always saying huh? or what? also. Is everyone hard of hearing these days?

| | | I have excellent hearing...probably because I can't see very well, have worn glasses since age 14. My dad, age 65, has quite a bit of hearing loss (he's not diabetic).

| | My hearing isn't the best 
I'm always asking people to repeat what they've said, and if I'm not looking at people when they talk then they're all mumbling and muttering, I can't quite make out what they say unless they're facing me - which I guess means I've picked up a little lip reading and body language without really noticing it.
My Nana was quite deaf and wore a hearing aid. She wasn't diabetic though - that family trend was started by my father and hopefully ends at me! I can't imagine D being to blame for my hearing loss - either it's just a genetic thing, or all those years listening to my walkman as a teenager probably blew away a few necessary bits deep within my ears. Doh.
