first time user, not very good at these type of "introduce yourself" threads but here goes nothing
I started to lose my hearing around 18 months old, my left ear is fully deaf and my right ear has about 10-12% hearing left. I prefer to read lips because I can read lips pretty darn well. I tried ASL for over a year and I slowly lost interest since I don't have any deaf/HoH friends at all. Most of all I just did not feel comfortable doing sign language because I am mostly a talker and my non-deaf/HoH friends have no problem understanding what I say to them sometimes because I did speech therapy for 16+ years.
I don't know what else to say since I ain't good at these type of things but I guess the reason why I signed up was to read other people stories or posts about jobs/careers/life/friends/etc.
This seems to be like the a very popular forum according to search engines so I figured I give it a shot, cheers!
