Yes I would love to have a informal chat group whenever I get to TV. I agree it is hard to talk on the phone these days, because I do have some minor loss in my right ear also, but don't wear a hearing aid for that. Graciegirl I do usually wear mine all the time, the only problem I have is that my ear sweats at times. Never had that problem before, but that is only minor. I do have a special box to put it in at night because I sweat and the moisture in our area. It is like a dehumidifier so that you keep the moisture out of the hearing aid. Here at home my son thinks I should learn sign language. I know he was kidding but it is something I have thought about since I would probably never be able to afford a cochlear implant. I love the support and information I have obtained through this wonderful sight.
