Hello! I’m 18 years old currently living in California, US. I became hard of hearing when I was 16. It was sudden and idiopathic. I’m now 18 and going profoundly deaf. I still use hearing aids but they aren’t working as well and wont at all fairly soon. I’m still learning ASL but know enough to communicate. I’ve recently found myself at a crossroads of whether or not I should continue to use my voice or not. Due to many medical issues, talking is very straining for me. Adding the hearing loss doesn’t make it any easier.
I’m hoping to make more friends that can understand where I’m coming from. I just moved into my own apartment in a new city. I’m shy so it’s hard for me to go out, but when I do go out I make friends easily. I’m going to try and attend some deaf socials here in my new city and see if I can make some good friends there. I’m used to the small town socials from before so this will be a bit of a change for me, but I’m excited.
Thanks for listening,
Kali
