Hearing Loss LIVE!’s Post

People don't always detect my hearing loss. I'm good at using lipreading strategies to make it through conversations in small groups and during one on one conversations. If it's a busy hearing day at work, I get super tired because it takes a lot of mental work to put it all together. If I overdo my socialization, I end up with Listening Fatigue. Then, it's apparent that I have hearing loss because I can't keep up and lag behind on conversation. Hearing breaks are very much needed during busy hearing/understanding times to recharge my battery. #HearingBreaks #HearingLoss #HearingImpaired #HardOfHearing #ListeningFatigue #SocialBattery #HearingLossLIVE

(Bulleted list) - muscle tension/strain - headache - irritability - hard to follow conversation - not understanding speech - withdrawal - more repeats.  hearinglosslive.com
