The SayWhatClub is an Internet-based support group, geared toward people in varying stages of hearing loss. We have been organized and incorporated since the mid 1990’s and serve a worldwide membership. The SayWhatClub has been a proven lifeline to those struggling with hearing loss in order to function in a hearing world to learn coping skills, job skills and acceptance. Here we find a whole family of people ‘just like us’ who share the feelings of isolations, the heartaches and, strangely, the joys of living with hearing loss.
Our members run the gamut from ‘mild’ to ‘profound’ and every level in between. We also welcome spouses, partners and friends who love us and wish to have a better understanding of our world.
We hope you will post your comments and opinions on our weblog. Please feel free to visit our website and consider joining us at www.saywhatclub.com. We’d be honored to welcome you to our far-flung but close-knit family.

Hello,
My hearing loss began in late 2003 at the age of 45. My mother and my maternal grandfather both lost their hearing at about the same age. I am on my second set of hearing aids, which, thankfully, enables me to hear, but not so well. Unfortunately, my hearing is getting steadily worse, to the point where I avoid initiating conversations with people that I don’t know. I can’t hear my youngest daughter unless I put my face right up to hers and listen with all my concentration.
My emotions run from anger to feeling sorry for myself to why bother.
