Unfortunately you will have many others to fit in with...

as the generation of high volume music listening through ear plugs begins to show up in hearing loss. It was predicted,but who could make any teen turn down their radios? When I could hear what they were listening to on their headsets, and I do have a hearing impairment, what does that tell you?

I'm sorry for this for you...whether you listened to loud concerts or music or whatever... it's unfortunate.

If your hearing loss is due to menierres, then be sure to study up on this. Also, contact your local Deaf Services Bureau as they have great resources and beneficial stuff to make your hearing impairment easier.
