MY JOURNEY STARTS

Hearing loss is something that no one really wants to talk about but it is a serious problem in today's society. I was in denial when I first began having problems with my hearing. I knew that there was a familial trend that included a deadening of the nerve that conducts sound to the inner ear. I knew that some day I would probably have to deal with it. What I didn't expect was that I would have to begin at age 36. I felt that hearing was a problem that either started as a young child or something you faced as an elderly person. I was wrong. I had a series of ear infections as a child but other that that I had not been exposed to loud noises or received any hard blows to my ear. I just started my journey earlier than I expected.
