Author: myhearinglossstory

Hi, My name is Carly and I'm currently living in Spain. I am originally from a small seaside town in Yorkshire called Bridlington and have also lived in China and Thailand. For 14 years, I worked as a teacher, specialising in Early Years Education. I am currently working as a transformational coach for people with hearing loss, and a hearing health writer. In August 2016, I experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss in my left ear. I started this blog as a way to inform my friends and family about my progress, for anyone else who is going through a similar experience as me, or for anybody who is interested in learning about this type of hearing loss, and the way it can affect everyday life. I am also the founder of the Sudden Hearing Loss Support website, which provides information and support to anyone affected by sudden hearing loss. I love walking in the countryside, getting lost in Madrid, going out for breakfast, taking photos, listening to music, storytelling podcasts, baking, running, drinking wine, and eating spicy food.
