Hi,
I'm new. I started losing my hearing when I was young cuz of a high fever when I had chicken pox. There is much hearing loss in my family too. However my parents would not get me hearing aids. Now I am an adult and have lost more hearing. I am getting HA's next week. (Phonak Amio ITEs to try maybe getting more powerful BTE's later).
I am nervous about eventually going deaf. I dont think deaf is bad or anything. Its just a bit scarey for me. Luckily I have taken four terms of ASL and can communicate pretty good. Mostly, I feel between worlds. I feel kind of lost. My parents are mad at me for learning sign and getting hearing aids. It makes me sad.
I just dont where I belong. Anyways thanks for letting me vent
