I’m a 24year old girl who noticed hearing issues from at least a few years ago. I put it off due to covid and fear that Im too young to have any problems with hearing. 6 weeks ago I took the plunge and had a hearing test and my left ear is severe-profound hearing loss and my right is massively compensating

Hearing aides that actually help with tinnitus?
Hello, I have had hearing loss and tinnitus-for approximately 10-15 years. Does anyone know of any hearing aides that help in blocking tinnitus? I had hearing tests & a brain scan as my hearing deteriorated reasonably quickly. I had national health hearing aides but they just made me notice my tinnitus

Request for additional funding
This is ok but I want her to have a building based activity so the weather does not affect the day and also I want her to have more interaction and be occupied for the day as this can be difficult with her
learning
disabilities
. The place I want her to attend would do this and more.

Dear friends, I would like advice on how to stagger my Levo before my next blood test on 8th. I normally take my 75mcg tab in two halves,, half in the morning and half in the evening.

Need Some Help
I have him in therapy, in speech therapy (since he has
learning

), I also have him in a special school for it. Lately he has been very angry, exploding actually. He won’t talk to me, I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend also has ADHD and he has trouble dealing with him.

How to better support parents?
I've worked for a few years caring for children with
learning
disabilities
and other chronic conditions. Having seen how difficult care coordination can be for parents, I've decided to try and build a digital platform and service that helps families manage this.
