Hello!
I am new here as well. I joined this site hoping I would find someone to relate to, someone to understand. You see, in my town and school, no one I know of is deaf. I am losing my hearing more and more, and a recent accident made it so I am aware of any noise made, but I can’t make out the words of people and such. Specifics I can’t really identify. It’s hard.
I’ve been studying sign language, and my friends attempt to study with me, but it’s hard for them. After all, we’re early in our teens, and, at this age, work ethic is usually low. I don’t blame them. They try, but it’s not their job to learn. And, no matter what, they can’t understand what’s happened to me. I hope that this site will lead me to find people who can understand. Middle school is hard enough with hearing; being hard of hearing doesn’t help.
I think you all are superheroes. I can’t imagine having a lifetime of reading lips and everything that comes with loss of hearing. You’re amazing. I don’t know how I’ll make it, being deaf in a hearing society, a hearing school.
