Baha hearing aid and macular vitteliform

I have both hearing loss in one ear and this eye disease. Because to all intents and purposes I look no different to the next person I have to endure daily/ hourly ‘abuse’. Even if I tell people my disabilities, they soon forget within seconds (even my family forget!). Feeling sad. Would appreciate suggestions! Can’t continue like this !!

I'm truly sorry to hear this. Would you like to tell us some more about your experiences? I hope you know that you're among friends here, and people who understand.
A big welcome to the community 😀
I'm sorry your feeling sad!
I'm prouvondly deaf with other disabilitys, due to nerve damage, so i need to use a wheelchair when I go out.
I'm also loosing my eyesight, due to medication, so it's hard for me to communicate sometimes.
On the outside I look like nothing is wrong with me and i get judged a lot by the public.
My family do find it hard to deal with sometimes, and loose there temper.
But I know they don't meen it.
I get a lot of support from the community, and have friends from the comminty I talk to most days.
I don't know what I would of done without them.
Take care
Bev
