Do you guys embrace your hearing loss/deafness?!

Yup, my next HA I'm definitely going with a bolder look. Either a bright color or some crazy pattern. :)
 
I accept my deafness and never try to hide it.
I just don't want anymore children to be born deaf.
 
I was thinking the next time I get new earmolds made, I'm gonna go for wild colors :)
 
I'm fine with my deafness.
I like the fact I'm trilingual because of it. I display my silver HAs with purple earmoulds. :)
I don't give a flying jot what hearie thinks of me because if they judge me based on erroneous assumptions then that's their loss as I won't put up with them.
 
I am proud to be a part of a community that is bilingual and have worldwide connections.

When I went to Gallaudet University, I made so many friends from all over the world. That is very uniquie in a community and I am proud to be a part of it.

Also, AllDeaf is the same as well.

Wow... I find this sad. How can you accept your own deafness, yet still find it so horrible that children are deaf?

I agree. I was rendered speechless at the discrepancy here.
 
Embrace like wholly maybe, yes and no. Like someone said it is strong a word.
I still would prefer to be able to hear normal because I do value to be able to hear everything like hearies do- TV, movies in theater, music,
my friends talking all at once and all.
I just grew up in this all my life, so.....

part of me however always miss not being given a chance to belong to the deaf and Deaf culture, always regret why was I denied this...
always something pulls me here, and I do feel Deaf even if I know nothing about it. Or very tiny little.

But I am staring to accept totally my own deafness and the fact that I wear HAs and recently I bought the black ones for the first time in my life,
and cut my hair short as I don't give damn anymore who sees them.
on the contrary, I want them to be seen!

Now I am thinking of making my next earmolds something goth terrible :giggle:
one day, one day :)

I never said that, so don't even try to put words in my mouth.
I don't want children born blind, do you? I don't want children born with missing limbs, do you? I don't want children born with a hole in their heart, do you?
Yes, children are born these ways but still it is RIGHT for me and everyone else NOT to want it to happen.
