Being hearing impaired,Marijuana helps me understand people MUCH better

I have been hearing impaired since I was born and wear hearing aids that are visible behind the ears. I always rely 100% on my hearing aids and always have a VERY hard time understanding what other people have to say on a conversation
this
1. Denies me friends, girls, and social interactions
2. Makes me all alone on Saturday and friday nights when everybody else is partying
3. I dont have any friends, never got laid, and am 19 years old
I feel comfortable at strip clubs because of the attention I get. I feel very worthless in this world...I am a wall to everybody. Now since you have a general backround of my miserable life, since I introduced my life to Marijuana a few months ago I immediately noticed fantastic effects pertaining to my hearing loss.
A few minutes after toking up, when everything gets very slow, and I become embraced in my own world, I could sharply, clearly, understand people...100% of what they say! This is contrary to my sober way of hearing.
I can understand their body language, and read their lips from like 50 feet away. Social interactions become very easy and relaxed, and I can follow thru a conversation so easily. WHY CAN I ONLY HEAR ON MARIJUANA AND NOT SOBER?
Is it the relaxing effects? Is it maybe my altered level of concentration?
Whatever the reason is...I dont know...maybe you do? Still even though I can understand and hear what everybody says, I am afraid to approach them stoned, because I act stupid stoned u kno? Maybe just 1 hit will get me hearing what everybody says..but not to high or anything u kno? I will experiment with this..but I think there may be a new medical reason for cannabis..I am not sure at the moment.
ANy theories on this?

wow, I have hearing problems also and experience the same thing your saying, when I smoke up.
though I dont have hearing aids cuz I cant afford em so it's hard for me, but mj makes life a bit easier if used rightly.
and I thought I was the only one, I know what your talking about when you say everything sounds a bit clearer.

Do you know if there is a right dosage to smoking Marijuana in order to get everything to sound clearer, but not to get too high?
I feel better knowing that I am not alone in this world, and I am very sorry that you cannot afford hearing aids. WHen I take off my hearing aids, I can almost hear nothing, is it the same with you?
Peace

i dont have hearing imparement but when i smoke i can hear the trees moving even if its jsut a lil bit.....hmmm...interesting....

I'm the opposite. I have a fair whack of hearing loss due to a concussive head injury many years ago, but I can still understand people, if I pay attention (and if I can see their lips - I guess I subconciously read them to aid in my understanding). But, when I'm stoned, I have a much harder time understanding.

I hear shit all the time when im high and get paranoid. Allthough i dont think that relates to this subject. Maybe im just a stoner.

why do you think marijuana and the music industry go hand in hand

Off topic but there used to be a deaf school near me, those kids love to smoke. The sign for weed in ASL is like u would expect thumb and forefinger together and press to lips.

TwJ, my sister is deaf (& one of her sons too). They stayed with me for a few months & we smoked together quite a bit, late at night. I sign (not fabulously, but ok), & she's superb at lip-reading, so we don't usually have problems communicating. But I swear that when we were both high, we could have much clearer communication on both ends... it was sooo amazing. We had the deepest conversations, but we understood each other perfectly, with no mental-translation-delay.

Don't let your hearing impairment hold you back sweetie! My sis is 90% deaf (since birth), & isn't scared of anything. When I want to spend a Friday night just chilling out at home, she loves to be out dancing & meeting new people. You'd think it'd be the other way around, but nah, she kicks my ass, lol. And my 8 yr. old nephew, shoot! That kid is off the chain... he makes friends with kids he doesn't even know. And with both of them, most of their friends are hearing. Sometimes there can be a communication problem, but just ask people to repeat if you need to. Many people don't understand how to enunciate their words, which can be a challenge, but make them do it. We need more clear diction in this world anyway. Relax & enjoy the gift of your life. :)

Mlleyeuxbleus, that's pretty cool that you can do that with your sister, and she sounds outgoing.. and shit.
And i'd say it's the fact you're high, that's making your hearing better, and if you aren't high (enough) you wouldn't be able to hear like you do.. hope it makes sense:)
