Who has hearing problems?

Greetings! I’m darth_james. My second kidney transplant was three years ago and it’s working well. I have severe bilateral hearing loss that mostly developed during periods when I was on dialysis. I wear two hearing aids and it’s an obstacle but it’s not easy finding suitable work with hearing impairment and a suppressed immune system.
I would also like to hear what others might suggest for a part time job.

Hi! I am happy to hear you got a second kidney - I did as well, six months ago… wonderful gift of life!
i am sorry about your hearing loss - I don’t have a good reco but perhaps there are others who know? What does your social worker say? This is exactly the kind of help they should provide…
I’m finally getting back to you. If a peripheral problem is caused or comorbid related to kidney disease I remain eligible past the 36 month period under ESRD. Life has its obstacles and I am patient while I contend.
