question for profound deafies (all forms of hearies opinions are welcome too), sorry if this was brought up before - do show me the thread if so.
question: I understand hearing impaired is politically corrected term, do you find it offensive? makes you feel really 'disabled'? psychologically disabled? or just fine? if so or whatlike, why, etc.
and by the way, while I think this is a sticky question, do you, people who can hear at least a bit well (with or with no hearing aids), do you consider yourself deaf or hardofhearing?
eager to hear all, diverse thoughts!
