hello everybody my name is Amy and I'm 19 years old i will turn 20 this November. i was born deaf and my right ear hearing loss was 50 decibels loss and left was 90 and it stay that way until recently about 4 years ago my hearing aid stopped working for me i thought my hearing aid was broken so i didnt wear it for 4 years and 4 months ago i decided i want get new hearing aid so i went in and took hearing test and it was boring and i heard nothing so i asked if machine is on and working fine and she said yes it is fine i just cant hear anything yet so i thought she was slow at it or something and finally i heard beep and few minutes with few beep then stopped and same thing with other ear and it was strange so i came out and looked at my audiogram sheet and i was SHOCKED to see that my hearing loss fell to 100 db on both hear so im suddenly profound deaf and i was like 'so is that why i couldnt hear anything with hearing aid?" and she said yes and talk to me about powerful hearing aid but even at that range of hearing loss i have right now it wont do for me that well because i want to hear speech not just sound so she suggested me to think about cochlear implant so i said "yes i heard all about it from my friends" and she also told me she have feeling that im perfect canditate for cochlear implant so i decided to went aghead with evaluation progress and she sent me to other specialist ENT ear, nost, throat to go further discussing about cochlear implant and i really want one so he called other audiologist to makes appointment with CT scan on september 6th or something i dont remember i wrote it down on memo board lol and 45 minutes after CT scan i have appointment with my ENT i think to talk about result not sure and then few days later (11th) is my appointment to take another hearing test but with loaned hearing aid to prove that it doesnt work for me so my insurance will pay for it (i think its just for one day only not trial but we'll see) and then i dont know when is my next appointment after meeting with audiologist with hearing test im sure it'll be balance and MRI test or whatever there is for me to get the cochlear implant its taking forever it sucks i only got 2 appointment so far in 4 months! ugh i hope my ENT will speed things up and do surgery before december because thats when i start beauty school and my school do not have vacation or days off longer than 2 days for 11 months straight so it will suck really bad if i cant get it for a year.
anyways other than my progress on canditacy for surgery. heres mini biography about myself. I was born deaf and im only deaf on record in 600 years (genealogy book my grandma has) so i have NO clue how im deaf its definately not genetics haha but i did born with umbilical cord around my neck and turned blue for few minutes maybe that somehow causes my hearing loss?? Anyways and my parents found out that im deaf at around 2 and half years old because i didnt respond to them calling my name and my mom tried pounding on cooking pan and i didnt respond and she come close to me from behind and yelled Amy! and i didnt respond and she somp on floor for vibration and i look around and she got worried so took me to doctor and told my parents that im deaf and my parents were shocked and dont know what to do so they talk to specialist and he actually asked my mom if she want to give me up to adoption my mom was so pissed and went out of door said 'this is my daughter' and decided to put hearing aid on me and sent me to mainstream school with special deaf program that have about 10 other kids with me in classes for most part and sometimes in some class with hearing kids till high school we all start going to hearing classroom and only study hall with deaf teacher so it was nice. im very fluent in ASL and i can speak a little, mostly color, numbers, thank you and etc common word. i used to speak fluently when i was 8 but i was painfully shy so i never social with hearing people or use my voice so that why i only can say few things now. So number one reason i want CI is for my own safety it bother me alot that i could not hear the fire alarm at all eve if m standing under it and my bf's sister's baby cried hard for little while and i had no idea till they came in room and got mad at me i felt soooo bad that i cant hear baby cry and i also want to hear emergency vehicle from behind if need to pass me and i miss listening to people talking and music and lovely sound like rainfall, bird chirping and wind whistling. well i better shut up im talking too much haha i'll update when i get my CT scan done and hearing test too.
