She says that her hearing loss is not so bad and she can hear everyone and that I'm just not talking up. I'm so angry at her that I don't even want to speak to her at all. She is so stuborn. What can I do?</p> Living With Someone Who Has Hearing Loss Sat, 06 May 2006 11:41:21 -0600 http://www.firsthearingaid.com/node/112 <p>After reading your story which interested me Ilene I wondered if your relationship with George improved after he was helped by the new hearing aid?<br /> I find that I cut down my communication with people who have trouble hearing me speak. I talk softly and feel tension when I have to raise my voice.<br /> However, in my job as a therapist I shift my volume and get used to talking louder as I am so focused on the client's need.<br /> I noticed this when my next client arrived and I realized I was shouting at them.<br /> I like your website.</p> Living With Someone Who Has Hearing Loss Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:15:12 -0600
