That's right and we have to beat it! We gotta stand up for ourselves and not get run over by an 18 wheeler.. we will ALWAYS have to prove ourselves that we can do it! Life isn't easy nor for hearing people.. I've seen hearing people struggled in different situations anywhere, anytime.

RS, seems like you're feeling sorry for yourself.. gotta get out and try to do something with your life!

I agree. Some people have it easier than others and no matter who you are...life is hard regardless of disability or lack thereof. A hearing disability is only one of the many disabilities that people are dealing with out there. Personally, I prefer dealing with deafness over any other disability. Just having normal hearing doesn't solve your problems in life either. Life is a challenge for each and every one of us and it depends on your willingness to stand and face these challenges.

Carp Diem!

I was born partially deaf in right ear wore hearing aid growing up. at age of 37 i had 3 major strokes and my heart stopped leaving my frontal lobe w/out oxygen for 17 mins. So know, at 38 I am completely deaf in left ear and almost no hearing at all in my right ear. A hearing aid cant even improve it now. I can hear 1 person a little if they look at me when they speak ,I read there lips and ask them to speak slowly. I still love calasssic rock, so i balst the stereo loud enough to hear it. no worries my home is well insul.ated u cant hear it from outside of my home..

Nerve damage since birth in my right ear. No one was ever sure if it was due to a ruff labor or not..that followed by lots of ear infections and fluid build up..

I used to feel asshamed that I was hearing impaired when I was younger..now Im proud of it and that I've come this far with it. It's who I am and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Join the club!!!! I also hated being hoh..and it took me seventeen years to come to terms with the fact that I am hoh. Now I love it....its not everyone who can turn their hearing off with a flick of the switch!

I was born deaf caused by the rubella syndrome, so I'm profound deaf.
