it's a funny thing a longer I have Parkinson's the worse my wife hearing getting.it's getting so nearly every time I say something she says what, I end up repeating myself several times a day.I know it can't possibly be me when I talk to me I am just as loud as I ever was.
In one of our support group meetings we had a gal from physical therapy at the clinic where we have our meetings come in and talk about the LSVT program.shortly after that one of the people in the group went through the program.the change in the ability to hear her talk was amazing.the program is pretty intense I think it takes about 6 weeks, but from what I'm told it's well worth the time and effort.a we were allvery surprised to hear such a strong voice coming out of her.
it is strange when your voice is going and you don't realize it.even the voice identification part of my telephone doesn't recognize me anymore, I have had to re enter all the voice prompt using my new voice, and I assume this will not be the last time. I guess it's just part of what adds to the isolation of people with Parkinson's. after years of being around jet airplanes I have a pretty substantial hearing loss so going out in social occasions to bars restaurants is not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be.with all the background noise sometimes I might as well not even be there as far as trying to communicate with anybody.nobody can hear or understand me, and I can't hear or understand I'm so conversation is a bust.
