Throughout my journey with hearing loss, I faced numerous challenges but also discovered ways to overcome them with resilience and optimism. Today, as a cochlear implant user, I can hear and understand perfectly, but I will never forget the difficulties I faced the times I was a hearing aids user. Here, I share the top…
“I lost my hearing. What now?” is a question many people find themselves asking. It doesn’t just apply to sudden hearing loss—it also speaks to the moment when someone finally admits to themselves that their hearing isn’t what it used to be. Whether it’s a sudden shift or a gradual realization, the question remains: what’s…
This is a letter to my mother about our journey through my progressive hearing loss. I started losing my hearing when I was 6. When I turned 31, I did my first cochlear implant. Less than two years later, she passed away. ?My name is Paula Pfeifer and I lead the largest digital community of…
My name is Luciano Moreira, and I’m an ENT surgeon from Brazil. As some may know, my wife, Paula Pfeifer, has profound hearing loss and is a brazilian deaf writer. I met her shortly after she received her first cochlear implant (she now has both ears implanted), which made it easier for us to connect….

By that point, I had reached profound hearing loss—unable to hear almost anything, even with the latest hearing aids. I’m a deaf author of three books (you can find them on Amazon), and I lead the largest online community for…
Hearing loss brings us a lot of sadness and it would be hypocritical not to talk about it. I shared on the Chronicles of Hearing Loss fan page the link to a 2012 post whose title is “Hearing Loss also saddens me”. I was surprised because almost 20,000 people viewed the post because of the title, and it…
If you are the mother of a deaf kid, I would love to give you some advice. I’m deaf myself. I was born hearing and I started losing my hearing capacity when I was six. Today, I’m 40 and I lead the biggest online community of people with hearing loss who are hearing aids/CIs user…
I am a deaf person who can hear with bilateral cochlear implants – after 30 years losing my hearing progressively. More than that, I am a deaf person who about ten years ago could barely hear a thing. This is why I must say the way we treat the elderly people with hearing loss is…
