Yesterday I went shopping and when I went to checkout the cashier asked me how long I have been deaf? I said since birth. She then told me she is deaf in one ear and sometimes it’s a struggle. I said yeah I agree and I am glad I am not the only one that feels that way. She also stated that I do really well with it because of how well I spoke. To me that is a lot from a stranger noticing similar conditions. The best part for me was when she said how well I spoke and that to me is a lot because I have never met this person and was complemented on how well I speak even with my hearing. I don’t talk about it much but it is moderate to moderate sever / pretty close to profound and I am blessed everyday I can hear the sounds that I can.
