I used to be able to carry a conversation until about 8 years ago. I don't know sign language and can't read lips. I find very few people know sign language in my area and it is disappointing. I fell that governments should be making sign language a mandatory course in school
I also had a love...
I do not think I am embarrassed by my hearing loss but because I can not lip read well or hear words correctly I get eye rolls or faces of disgust a lot and it irritates me
