A disorder called deafness

Of course, you can call a doctor, right?

If so, please use a hearing aid.
It's not like it used to be, and there are very compact and relatively inexpensive ones out there.
For example, I can recommend the “Pure” series from a company called Siemens.
You can view it at the address below.

I hope you can see it at the store once.

　How much is it. I understand the feeling that you want to enjoy drinking parties and play, but hearing loss will inevitably become an obstacle. Eagles are men, but at drinking parties or social gatherings, they sometimes don't listen to me, they are isolated because they have few acquaintances, and they are often ignored by telling their partner stories that are too geeky and uninteresting. How and what kind of story should I blame at that time? It's trial and error to see if it's better to do one trick, but I think this is an effort on the male side. What is important is for men to actively entertain any woman. Men who stop speaking due to disability or personality are the worst. Men are disqualified. Men are bad when you don't enjoy drinking parties. I think you've had drinking parties until now with men who can't create an atmosphere of the place.
After that, there isn't a world so sweet as being able to have a drinking party due to rudeness in the world. Everyone is taking care to have a drinking party somewhere. For those of you, there is the method I enjoyed the most.
A drinking party isn't just a place to enjoy conversation.
Sit next to the secretary → if there is someone with an open glass, tell the secretary, listen to that person's order from the secretary, and act as a buzzer. Lower the empty plate. Share side dishes. The point is to enjoy it with your own eyes. At some point, you'll be able to see that person's preferences and patterns, and you'll be able to move faster than yourself. Isn't it fun? Eagles performed various acts, but it was that kind of concern that received the most appreciation from everyone (the person who received the hospitality). Oolong tea is offered to people who have drunk too much in a relationship. This is oolong tea which is good. The reason is that the color is similar to the mizuwari of whiskey, so everyone notices that it is oolong tea after drinking mizuwari itself. I'm very grateful to you for bringing it to me. However, so that no one can hear your order, let the clerk carry it to your place and take it from you to the other party. casually.
Ordering tea for everyone from the clerk at the end is an advanced skill, but isn't it particularly good in Kyoto? If I make it this far, my driver's license will be passed on. You've become a top secretary follower. Your femininity has also improved. (Maybe it's a damn?)

Good morning, Ikura-san.
Let the humble monk impart one wisdom.
It's exciting when a man is attacked by a young woman.
If so, let's take advantage of this.
If there's a man you're interested in, I'll stop close by.
Next, I will confess that I have “hearing loss.”
For instance,
“I'm a little hard of hearing. I want to listen to your story better, so I can sit here”
I'll sneak up on it.
If it's a man who runs away here, don't deal with him; I'll aim for the next man right away.
You won't be able to catch a good match unless you ask for it yourself.

Hello, my name is Yoshida Toshihide from the Soto sect.

If you're the only person with hearing loss in your workplace, you'll certainly feel uncomfortable. It's true that you feel that “communication is getting harder and harder.” I think it's really painful.

However, compared to the past, I think our understanding of people who are deaf and hard of hearing has expanded quite a bit. Because sign language interpreters are now always available for public greetings, lectures, etc. I joined a university sign language club about 30 years ago and studied sign language a bit, but compared to those days, I feel isolated.

It's extremely orthodox, but how about this method?

It's about increasing the number of people who understand hearing loss in the workplace. It's probably impossible all at once, but I think it's possible if you spend some time. In order to perform work accurately, it is essential to communicate information to you, and I think the workplace also has a responsibility to guarantee information for you. Even if we don't ask for sign language interpreters all the time, it's about increasing the number of people who understand and cooperate with “listening back” and “written communication.” Naturally, I think understanding and cooperation from my boss and colleagues is necessary.
For example, when supervisors and the like make instructions or administrative contacts in the department you are in charge of, prepare key word paper and ask them to indicate it. Ask them to incorporate written communication during meetings. Why don't you make that kind of thing a daily routine and ask them to cooperate so that written communication is essential even at drinking parties?

Even able-bodied people may not be able to communicate with everyone at drinking parties. So don't worry if you don't join all the conversations. There are many cases of conversations that seem exciting when viewed from the sidelines, but also conversations that have no real meaning.
There is always someone who understands you as a hearing loss and who can help you with your disability. Explain that you have hearing loss and ask for your understanding and cooperation. Little by little is fine, so let's increase communication with people who understand that kind of thing. Since you were originally an able-bodied person, the words that come out of your mouth should be properly conveyed to everyone. Don't hold back or be afraid. Speak actively from you, and when it's hard to hear the other person's words, make full use of “listening back,” “written communication,” and “gesture/sign language.” Then, let's catch the other person's conversation and increase communication.

What I've been feeling lately is that humans see things more than they see with their eyes.
More than I hear sound with my ears, I listen in places where I'm not hearing it. That's it.
In the Zen sect, it's called face-to teaching, and they value face-to-face teaching between a living mentor and a living disciple.
Text, voice, and video alone do not convey important things.
In other words, I think it's possible to communicate beyond listening with your ears by putting your senses to work.
I dare to translate communication as encounter, discover, notice, and receive communication only here.
Talking to people isn't just about listening; it's about doing it with your whole body.
If you are currently hard of hearing, this is your chance to sharpen and refine your other sensitivities.
Please think that things you don't want are also blessings.
And please feel the message from that gift.
I had a lot of bad luck. I also had a lot of trouble. Utilizing that gift, it is useful for clearing the hearts of many people.
There was a video of a woman on the internet who regained her hearing and was moved and cried.
Now technology is progressing steadily. You'll definitely be able to regain your hearing.
Please take good care of your current bad luck.
And please save someone's heart by digesting and sublimating that loneliness, suffering, and sorrow.
In the darkness of misfortune and suffering, I listened to a voiceless voice, a sound without sound, and found a sound that should resonate from there.
It is precisely because we are suffering that there is a strange sound that should resonate there.
You probably still have the ability to play.
Silence is sad, and it's not just dark silence. Please start listening to what sounds are being sought in this day and age, and try to play a beautiful sound in the sad silence of people who have the same suffering as you.

How much is it

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

I'm suffering from the progression of “hearing loss,” and it's really painful to gradually make communication difficult...

I'm also really worried about whether the stress of not being able to communicate will have a greater impact on the progression of the disease.

Anyway, understanding those around you is becoming more important than anything else. While their medical conditions are being conveyed clearly to everyone, it may be necessary to give up until then for those who are still unconsiderate...

In particular, seats at social gatherings and drinking parties are cluttered and surrounded by hustle and bustle, so it becomes more difficult to listen... I want some kind of thorough consideration, but... when alcohol is included, it may become more difficult...

One suggestion is that apart from gatherings that are shrouded in clutter and hustle and bustle, they also set up opportunities to deepen relationships with everyone. Of course, it's not something special, and you can ask the secretary to give you a little consideration, and if it's difficult for you to communicate it yourself, I know it's OK if it's through a colleague or friend you care about.

Also, since everyone knows the circumstances of gatherings that are shrouded in clutter and hustle and bustle, of course, I can fully understand the feeling of wanting to participate, but if burdens such as stress and fatigue increase, I know that it is necessary to avoid them.

“How can I enjoy it?” ... From the above, along with being asked to understand how to create a place where people can enjoy themselves, I think it is good that when it is impossible, it can be judged as impossible and avoided so as not to become stressed or fatigued.

After that, I think it would be nice if things like “○○ disorder,” “○○ disorder,” and “○○ addiction” could be viewed positively as one of the opportunities, as Mr. Tange also said, without being strangely negative.
