Thank you all, The Wimbledon final 20 years ago, was the day I lost my hearing, Dr told me to take sudafed and steam and it will go away, another Dr said it would last a couple of weeks, wrong. I also lost my sence of balance and it took months before I could walk in a straight line again, I have had a hearing aid, but that made things worse, and Like you Sandra, I was told it was something I have to live with. My workmates are really good they walk on my right side, and are very understanding and it can be funny at times when some one asks a question and you answer something totally different, or if people talk to me and I ignore them as I havent heard them they look at you like you are ignorant, so I apologise for being hard of hearing, why should I. The most annoying thing is, I can only listen to one sound at a time and if some one shouts on me I dont know where the sound comes from ,so you get all disorientated. I have have learned over the years to grin an bare it but like most of you the more tired I am the louder it gets. Sorry for ranting on but It's really good to talk to others who understand.

Thank you again.
