So much pressure from everyone around me to get a CI... I don't think I even qualify for a CI because of my nerve damage... but there is so much pressure around me to get one. My mom (who is finally learning ASL) my SO, my work, my doctors, it seems like everyone around me is pressuring me to try and get into the hearing world, which I don't want to be a part of anymore, I am happy being deaf. I just got another audiogram today, and my hearing has dropped significantly... but thats fine with me... but apparently not anyone around me. I am doing my best to try and stave off the pressure I am feeling... but so many people are just... so... persistant... There are too many negative side effects of a CI, I don't want the vertigo, I don't want the seizures, I don't want the migraines (I already have enough...) I just want to be allowed to be me...to be to be happy... for letting me rant.
