What kind of physical problems do you struggle with especially?

Just trying to keep conversations rolling. 🤔Do you have diabetes? Osteoporosis? Heart problems? Asthma? As far as I know, I don’t really have anything especially wrong with me, except I’m sure if I had a more detailed physical they’d tell me I’m going deaf at a young age. I have had issues hearing dialogue while watching movies for years. Everyone says I have the tv on way too loud. I frequently find myself saying “what?” at work all the time. If I play music on my phone and even sometimes using the Bluetooth speaker, it’s often still not loud enough for my liking. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have moderate hearing loss. I've been struggling with this "minor" disability for my whole life.

I faced many challenges at school and in public throughout my childhood. In the past, no one had a clue that I have hearing loss. My family, teachers, and friends kept assuming that I wasn't focused or my ears have lots of earwax. But now the misconclusion has been solved.

According to an American otolaryngologist, I have to go under surgery or rely on a hearing aid. I could have afforded the hearing aid, but unfortunately, it was too expensive. But not as expensive as ear surgery.
