Hahaha @Shaz51

Too funny... I can relate! You have week's of issues with things, and as soon as you see to it, it's fine... geezzz!

Hey @Louie333 ! How are you? I'm thinking of you.

Oh the wedding was in my husband’s

mum’s back garden …..the wedding was wonderful. Thankyou for your kind nature around my wedding.

This is a hand sewn table at I made and gave away…..

@tyme @Shaz51

I have hearing aids too! granted it took over a month to get rid of the infection caused by the ear irrigation stuff... I'm new to hearing aids...

@PeppyPatti

Oh that's beautiful! I have a friend that made me a Christmas tree for my apartment

Hi @tyme Thank you, that is lovely of you. I hope you are beginning to feel better🤗

I have been bemused by making a very rare social media post that went globally viral, I mean in the news🤔 All social media platforms. I can't really say what it is about because that identifies me, how boring, would love to share😆

Aside from inadvertently lighting debates,I have been researching HRT today, I mean it's a bit late in the scheme of things but looking at every option imaginable to change the relentless doomed and exhausted feeling.

Misty and wet here, the kitten is curled up purring on my shoulder, amazing how soothing that purr is. It is not feasible to permanently wear kittens, I do wish it was😊

Yes, after being on the forums yesterday and today, I am starting to feel better. I just see there's so much more to the world than these little thorns in the flesh that I have at the moment. The thorns are still there, but I need to stop dwelling on them.

@Louie333. Oooo... that post going viral sounds so interesting! Nice to stir up a bit of debate sometimes. No need to worry, I don't have social media platforms to access. These forums are the most 'social' I get.

@Glisten might be able to share their experiences of HRT. @Oaktree , not sure if you can too. I don't know anything about it. But if it helps, why not?

As for kittens and cats. I've always disliked them. But since last year, I'm getting more attached to them. Sounds like your kitty is living the life!

Wow @avant-garde , that looks awesome!

I have a question. Please don't get offended anyone. @avant-garde , you mentioned that you are in your 30s, can I ask about your hearing aids? How do you feel about them? Can I ask why you need them (no pressure to disclose if you aren't comfortable)? Let me know if you aren't comfortable with this question and I can delete it.

Why i'm asking is that my brother in law has been recommended hearing aids, but has always been hesitant. He has now been recommended to see an ENT specialist. They think something is 'wrong' with his ears, and hence affecting his hearing.

@Shaz51 hi shazzy my sister! I'm well. Just inundated with my job. I wish I was still on holidays. No easing back in for me. Cold and wet here and will be like this for the next 2 weeks!

Hope your hearing aids don't give up on you. 🙂. Still good to have them checked in case there's a loose connection or something.

@avant-garde , @tyme

I have had a hearing aid since I was 28

I am totally deaf in one ear and over the years my hearing in my other ear has decreased soo much

Hello @Louie333 , @PeppyPatti , @Healandlove

@tyme

Ok, so many questions, yes I'm 35, but I actually was told I needed them when I was 34 at my first hearing test.

1. How do I feel?

I hated the idea, there are no ads with young people needing them, there's a lot of stigma about them being an old person thing. Once I got them they weren't as described, couldn't connect and stream audio to them. Once I see a really good hearing technician who program programmed them with modes it was much much better, driving mode, conversation mode and standard.

2. Why I need them?

I had multiple ear infections a year as a kid that my ears started rejecting the chest ear drops, to then be prescribed the expensive ones that my dad never wanted to pay for, so didn't. It eventually started affecting my hearing and doing damage.

Wearing them was an extreme trigger for me in the beginning because all it did was remind me of why I need them, it's still hard, but not as bad as I have others in my life that have them too and the speech is less fuzzy. I don't wear them all the time but I do find them helpful.

I like turning the volume down in shopping centres
