As a DHH individual, certain things can be super "earritating"! Here are some common annoyances we deal with:
💦 Wet Ears & Earmolds - Water and earmolds just don't mix well. Similar to wet socks for me - ugh! It's so uncomfortable and can affect how our hearing aids fit and work. So you bet I'm drying my ears with the hair dryer as soon as I can.
🌬 Wind In My Microphone - Ever heard someone blow into a karaoke microphone? That's all I hear when the wind blows in my mics - it's so loud it masks over any speech or music that I'm trying to listen to - It's so frustrating!
🦠 Ear Infections/Ear Pressure - These can be painful and can really mess with our ability to hear and process soundss. When one thing is irritated, everything else is amplified! Taking care of our ear health is so important.
🌬 Air In My Ears - Even a little breeze can be distracting and just makes me twitch! I've grown up my almost entire life with earmolds in my ears - it just feels WEIRD and I freak out that ...
