Does anybody agree that being HoH or Deaf define who they are? I don't mean it in a bad way or anything but do you feel that it is the reason you are who you are today? Like I feel that I am shy and a little insecure because as a child I was always teased about my hearing aids. Do you guys...

this is all good :) I partially think it's because I am shy until you get to know me so that means I have a hard time talking to guys...I am getting better with it but I'm still far from being totally outgoing with strangers

I don't know if it's because I am HoH or what, but I'm 21 and I've never had a bf. I do not consider myself ugly (not to be conceited or anything), and though I am definitely not skinny I think I'm in okay shape. It's kind of embarrasing really. Have you guys ever had issues getting into...

I haven't really been bothered much since elementary school. But elementary school was a little brutal. There was this one kid who was three grades older and he was a downright bully. He knew I had hearing aids and he made sure everybody else knew it. After elementary most kids knew me so they...

I find that a lot of people I have come across since I have had hearing aids as a young child that they have a lot of assumptions that come along with meeting me. I mean, people seemed to automatically think that because I did have hearing aids, that I had a mental disability as well. I got...

thanks!:ty:

I found out I was HoH when I was five. The doctors didn't know how it happened then and they still don't know how it happened. My theory is because I had numerous ear infections, but who knows.

Hey there my name is Taryn and I am from Ontario Canada...more specifically Georgetown! I am not fully deaf, but I have been partially deaf since the age of five (I am now 21). I am currently in university for Media studies -- Journalism! I have always been..undermined in a sense since I've been...
