I am a late deaf senior who is also L V (Low vision). I am surrounded by thoughtless people who don't understand, who don't want to understand, and those who refuse to understand. But they all mean well. They believe it also gives them license to steal, lie, cheat, and not do the job they are paid to do. These people require more attention in five hours than the average two-year old does all day. More irritating is I cannot cook for myself. Yes I can manage scrambled eggs and cold cereal, but I cannot see to prepare a meal.
I very much like this forum for I can learn. I don't understand the anger between the born deaf and those who are not 100% dear. I did not expect to die alone in a silent and dark body, but I will and I have accepted it, for that which was given at birth will be taken away. We, as a community, desperately need to leave the angst behind and support each other.
My doctor told me the AMA considers anyone who wears aids as "hearing". And I said, "It's too bad those aids can't help me hear sounds I never heard." Yeah I can wear aids and hear birds, but I can't hear you on the phone without some type of amplification device.
