that is a good idea, to remind people that you have your hearing aids out. I will try that. It is a struggle for me to go out to a restaurant with a group also. I have mostly now just go to quiet places or go out with fewer people at a small table.

The isolation is real. Getting a cochlear implant has helped me immensely. I don’t get it all, but I get enough to participate and probably as much as others my age without hearing aids. Hope technology continues to improve. The member who posted they were getting to the point they wouldn’t have time for a CI to be useful: When I was talking to people about CI prior to getting mine, one person I spoke to by phone was so helpful. At then end I asked her age: She was 89 and had gotten her implant at 87!

I know. Good for you and thanks for your service. I am not an veteran. I was born with severe hearing impairment.
