I can remember a hearing test at High School. We had to turn and face the wall and a lady had explaines that she wanted me to repeat certain words after her. I faced the wall and waited. Nothing. After about 2 minutes she came up behind me and grabbed my arm, furious that I had not repeated these words. A teacher was summoned and the medical person wanted to know if I was one of the naughty ones. I was asked to explain. I knew what I had to do but i was waiting for the lady to start speaking. I wasn't aware that she had started and finished and I had heard nothing. After an operation and 20yrs later a hearing aid, I would love to go back to that woman and take her to court for prejudice, poor attitude and cruel behaviour to a 14 year old child. I wept buckets out of fear. What about the scary thing that my hearing wasn't normal and I hadn't known anything was wrong before this.
