Hello @jansteve and welcome to the online community  

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

I imagine it must be quite frustrating that the cause of your hearing loss has not been found. How do you feel you are managing with it on a daily basis? you mentioned having two hearing aids and that your husband handles all the calls, which I understand, but I hope that otherwise you are managing okay and have support in place should you need it to help you manage your hearing loss.
