My name is Katie, no one is quite sure how I am HOH, as it could have been in-utro from a condition called Hydrocephalus that could have caused some brain damage, or from the brain surgeries, or from having so many loud machines on me when I was an infant fighting for life. Either way, regardless I'm HOH in the high tones, moderate to severe, low tones, I am oddly enough above normal hearing range. I do wear two earing aids.

I currently have the record with my audiologist for having the longest pair of hearing aid (2 till 12 years) without damage, repairing needed, or anything. I give my OCD credit for that. haha

Just wanted to say hi and hope everyone is well. Feel free to message me if you ever need to talk.
