I've had dentures for about 18 years. Too many things common to hearing loss did it including High Blood Pressure but the sinus issues and work environments were the main ones. Comprehension for me is complicated by damaged processing and it has been there since birth. It what I see and hear. I did do one thing that helped. I went to Radio Shack and purchased a FM amplifier. This has two microphones and using FM or better yet Digital is very important. The hearing amplifiers sold at Walmart won't work for example because they are not FM. But any of those boost everything which isn't good either. It's OK out somewhere like walking a trail to hear birds etc but is not for general hearing.

I pretty well understand whats wrong & why even more than my doctor does. The Audiologist that tested me was one of the few professionals I've ran across who even heard of what I have. I trust Vestibular research far more than mental health because the trials and test aren't skewed by Big Pharm. That and Mental Health is still in the 1960's on this meaning still clueless. You tell them Vestibular dysfunction causes anxiety etc and you'll either get laughed at or a blank stare.

There are still some wonderful medical personnel.

However, as a profession, it’s lost a lot of my respect the last 20 years.
