Thank you all for replying. It is nice to know I'm not completely abnormal with my thinking. Hopefully as I get used to being completely deaf, I will become like you 'Shell90' (I'd love to know how you "let it go" as I don't know where to begin??). Thanks again everyone!

Have any of you been envious of people who are able to hear? I've surprised myself by becoming very jealous of people who are able to hear which is completely out of character for me. For Christmas my mother gave my father some sort of amazing all singing and all dancing speakers. I keep...

Hi everyone! Just a quick question for you please..... Approximately two years ago I went from having perfect hearing to becoming profoundly deaf within a very short period of time. I started to forget some sounds (birds singing, acquaintances, famous peoples voices, the news reporters etc)...

I know this might sound silly to some of you....probably all of you. I also don't know if this question applies more to those who weren't born deaf or not. If you were writing a letter to "deaf" (as though 'deaf' is a person) what would you put? What is deafness (I don't mean a dictionary's...

Thank you Thank you all so much. Your varied views have helped a lot and I think I know the way to move forward now. Thank you!

You're stars! Thank you both soooo much!

Thank you Thank you all so much for your welcomes and comments, it is so nice to not feel so alone. I've still got lots of questions...would you mind please answering at least a few as it would help me and reassure me a lot. Thank you. 1. Do you ever feel lonely as a result of being deaf...

Hi, I'm Louby! I am in my twenties. I have had brilliant hearing nearly all my life. In the last four years I have been aware that my hearing wasn't as good, but I didn't feel it was worth going to my doctor. I also have tinnitus. Whilst staying with my sibling this last Christmas, we fell...
