[quote=Anonymous]My parent has hearing loss and has been wearing hearing aids since they turned about 60, so for about 15 years. i'm grateful they were willing to get hearing aids and they do help a lot. But they have changed hearing aids recently and the new ones aren't calibrated well yet. So they are either yelling when they speak or whispering. I am AuDHD with sensory challenges around loud sounds and yelling makes me shut down. I will ask them to level down a bit when they get really bad, but they get so angry and are insulted that I'm calling out their disability. I'm just trying to not jump out of my skin for entire conversations. They also don't believe in adult-diagnosed autism or ADHD so they don't believe I have anything wrong with me and that I choose to be this way. How do you handle this?[/quote]
