Well hello there! Im desiree and i am very new to the forum. I have bilateral meineres with profound deafness, more so in my left ear. Ive been losing my hearing slowly but steadily since i was about 17. Im 27 now and its begun progressing much muuuch quicker in the past 2 years. I joined alldeaf because i understand there is a cultural difference between hearing people, deaf, and the Deaf. I wonder if i could ever be accepted into the Deaf community since i was hearing for so long... Ive seen posts where deaf folks seem to not want any intruders into their Deaf world. I am sure they arent all like that, but i feel very ignorant on the subject so i just have to ask. I dont have any deaf friends other than a couple guys who also need to use hearing aids. I would like to make friends and get a little engouragement from time to time, as losing my hearing has become somewhat of a death in my life. And i find that i am still in mourning.
