Every single day, because I'm surrounded by my hearing friends, hearing boyfriend, hearing family, I learn something new each day of what I don't hear. Here's one ridiculously stupid example: Just the other day someone looked at me because I opened a jar. They could hear it "pop" (the air seal) open. I have never heard that in my life, never will. I long for the things I can't hear and the thought of a hearing person wanting to be deaf just so they can "fit in" sickens/saddens me.
