I am always afraid that if I used the term Hard of hearing, people will equal my hearing loss as elderly ... which most of them have mild or moderate hearing loss.
Oh, how awful to be thought elderly! If I were like "most of them," I'd . . . I'd . . . well, I guess I'd quit working for others, write for fun, and hang out with you kids here at AllDeaf.
