Hey ya'll! I'm a 24 year old girl from Denver. I have a bilateral moderate-severe fluctuating progressive hearing loss from Cogan's Syndrome. (Wow, try saying that 3 times fast!) CS also affects my eyes so my vision isn't so perfect. I started noticing my hearing issues at age 7, but it wasn't really an issue til about age 14. I was already attending CSDB for my vision issues so I started taking classes in the deaf school and living in the deaf dorms. I prefer using ASL and turning off my voice, but since I graduated I lost touch with the Deaf community and speak/speech read to please my friends and family. I suppose I am here to start really exploring my identity and how I want my life to look when my last bits of hearing disappear.
