I can’t hear. It sounds like people are mumbling do I need hearing aids?


Question by Schugar21: I can’t hear. It sounds like people are mumbling do I need hearing aids?
I am only fourteen…But my friends all call me deaf and think I need hearing aids. I don’t go to concerts much. I do listen to my iPod quite a bit…but not on full volume. I’ve been looking at hearing aids..but I don’t know for sure. I’m thinking about having my school nurse give me a hearing test. I think my dad had some ear problems as a child or something,,,no clue if hearing loss is genetic at all…but anyway….any suggestions? Help?

From one parent to another, we need to remind each other to be sure our smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order and that our kids know what to do in case of a fire. Using that extra hour when we change our clocks is the perfect time to do it.” Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, Nov. 6. As families change their
