Depression because of hearing loss

[aminv]

hi

guys. my right ear was operated in 1999 because my earbones fell off,but i guess surgerey did not went well, i could not hear on the phone properly, but left ear was good. now all the sudden during pregnancy i lost hearing on left ear also i dont know but i am blaming my pregnancy for this. some times i get upset with my 4 month old son that he came to this world and i lost my hearing. i am so selfish i know. but i now have severe loss on right ear and moderate loss on left ear i have to wear bi-lateral hearing aid and i dont like it. i am so depressed because sometimes on the phone at work i can not hear my doc is giving me diffrent program so i can hear better on phone better but so far it is not working. although i got a job with county health department i heard most of the phone calls are handled by clerk. i am starting on oct 5th. i am 32 and i think how long this hearing will last i am having all the negative thought. i should think positive stuff like god gave me beautiful baby boy who is healthy and husband very supportive. but i always think about my ears. sometimes i feel like selfish person or bad mother. sometimes i feel like why god did this to me at younge age. i think this hearing will affect my nursing career also. sorry i just need to let it out. why me god????????????????????????????????????????
