Responding but my hearing loss is not quite like yours.
I don’t know that I’ll ever be fully deaf, but I would say that I enjoy subtitles quite a bit. It let’s me watch TV without sound, because to hear what the voice track is saying I have to crank the volume and even then I’m not always great at understanding what is said.
It’s harder than listening to music, I think because like you said there are so many other sounds mixed in.
With music I do try to check in, I have a few songs with some bass frequencies that I can hear, and if I can’t, I need to see the doc quickly.
I have friends that work in industrial jobs and have full loss in one side or the other, in their 30’s / 40’s. They each manage differently but the time to full loss for them was determined a bit by how and what they were working on.
And from a hearing perspective, car washes are the worst. The noise and frequency is the most harsh thing I encounter in daily life the doesn’t have a volume control.
Also, hearing aids do help me make sense of words the right way. Worth it if you can get them.
I know I didn’t answer your question directly but wish you the best on your journey and your message was not offensive at all. Would not have picked up that English was jot your first language, doing well there.
Cheers!
ART NERD FIGHT!
But I agree, teal is turquoise ftw.
