At the time, it was borderline, not quite hearing loss, but not completely hearing. I didn’t find out until I was 14 years old, when I had moderate hearing loss, so I had to get my first hearing aids. When I was 23 yrs, we found out it was progressive, so it had worsened over time. this time, I had severe to profound hearing loss.”Also Read:
