RE: Hearing, sounds and being afraid

[Guest guest]

Hey tell erica that ive felt the same way with sounds. even now without my

hearing aids on when im going to bed i hear loud sudden sounds that are

scary. maby you guys could try this, i did it for myself a few years ago and

it actualy helped me get over my fear of these sudden sounds. I took a tape

and had my hearing aids off out of my ears. Then recorded the room for half

an hour. maby you and her can sit down and when she hears a noise that she

finds scary, you could tell her what the noise is. you can use the tape

after to let her listen with her hearing aids on to conferm the sound.

Just an idea but give a a big hug and that its common for people with

hearing loss and that we chargers do know what she feels.
