Sadly I have a cold and the brain fog is real, so I'm going to rest and catch up on #hearinglosshour this weekend. Please join in if you're interested--starts in 30 minutes and always a good time!

Oh noooo I’ve got a doctors appointment this morning! 😩 hate to miss it but looking forward to catching up later! #HearingLossHour

Does anyone else take too long of a break from Twitter and then the thought of jumping back in is overwhelming?! Writing some new website content over the next week and planning to be more active here as a goal for February 😌

Just one hour to go until #HearingLossHour. We want to know which campaigns related to hearing loss/deafness you're supporting this year. Join us 1-2pm (UK time) today! #TinnitusAwarenessWeek #TinnitusWeek #captioning #HearingLoss #KeepItDown #backgroundmusic

I must say, I think the UK is definitely ahead of the US on this topic as I'm not aware of many campaigns 😬 #hearinglosshour

This is true! Nyle DiMarco and Marlee Matlin are the two that immediately come to mind! My impression is that it takes quite a bit of star power for awareness in the US whereas in the UK there seems to be a much bigger support system at each level. #hearinglosshour

Social media does help! More public figures caption their videos now which is great. It just takes more for something to really get national attention, it usually happens via a cute viral video (baby hearing for the first time, ASL at a concert, etc). #hearinglosshour

Campaigns seem much more active in the UK, but the US has been getting better. Insurance is starting to cover costs of hearing aids, captioning is nearly on everything, and boutique ear protection and OTC aids have people thinking about their hearing more. #hearinglosshour

Hi guys! Life has been busy and Twitter is usually the first to fall off my radar when that happens 😬 But planning on some page updates and new content this month!

the deaf mama (@thedeafmama) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I've been MIA from Twitter for awhile but looking forward to jumping back into this next week! 8am EST if you're in the US.

Recently tidied up my list of baby monitor options for the deaf/HoH! Check it out and let me know if I missed anything. thedeafmama.com/equipment-list…

Hello and welcome to #hearinglosshour. As our discussion on myths and misconceptions was so good last month, we have more of them this month. Feel free to share your own too!

Making the issue worse in the US is all the over-the-counter hearing aid sales which do just that! Turn up the volume with no frequency adjustments 😱 #HearingLossHour

They shouldn’t be but I have definitely had to go back to the aud for poor fits on my BTE aid (usually where earhook meets tubing at the crook of my ear). #HearingLossHour

the deaf mama (@thedeafmama) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I’ve never heard this myth! Where I live people seem to focus on hearing protection for live events, and I know a lot of older people who have noise-induced losses. #HearingLossHour

Happy 2020! I am still not great at keeping up with Twitter but planning some webpage updates soon. Also adjusting to a new Oticon Xceed hearing aid I got yesterday and in that "I hate it" phase before I go back to the audiologist for more fine tuning!

Curious how many #deaf/HoH users have built IFTTT function into their lives? Specifically interested in the use of Philips Hue Phillips Hue lightbulbs (flash when phone or doorbell rings, and if app-specific phone notifications can trigger it).
