Glad I found this place! Place to relate... My name is Rachel and I'm 100% deaf in left ear and 75% in right - wear aid in right. Progressive hearing loss. They considered me "slow" when I was a child as they didn't automatically run hearing tests then. Have a good career. I stuggle all the time in social environments, meetings, on the phone, and have been the cause of laughter when I hear something wrong which is totally fine because I can laugh at myself. I do get frustrated though as I'm sure everyone hear can relate. Luckily I do have really really good friends who act as intrepters.
to AllDeaf and I hope that you enjoy yourself here as much as I have. There are some really great people and I am sure you will make many friends here as well.
