I agree with your posting Cjanik! Those are far more important than worry about getting hearing back? It is not a life/dealth threatening. I agree with VamPyroX it does sounds selfish to care about yourself instead of everyone see the differences? Have a heart will you?

With all due respect, Vampy. I don't think it's selfish of him to want his hearing back. I also would like to be able to get up out of my wheelchair, and walk. The difference is, there's a vast difference between wishful thinking and being realistic and accepting what is.

:gpost: Very well said there Oceanbreeze!!!

I would love to be able to hear again also, but I know it won't happen any sooner so I accept my own deafness and move on by enjoying my life while it last! ;)

Edit: you should too Ravensteve! ;)

Steve, you really need to accept what is. Do not pin your hopes on Stem-cell research. Even as wonderful as it could be, nobody knows how well it's going to work. It certainly is not the "miracle cure" it's touted to be.

I Like to be Deaf

I was born deaf and I like the way I am.
When I am quiet I hear nothing to cheer me up,
no music, and no company.
I can't hear the birds chirp in the morning,
neither the droplets of early morning dew.

I can feel, look at the sky, it's the color of love.
Love brings us together, I can communicate,
even though I can't hear I use my imagination
like if I were hearing,
deafness makes no difference.

I am deaf,
I accept it and I won't change it.
Love mends your heart,
I am deaf but the rest of me is like you

I love deaf
 :whistle:

Beautifully said, Liebling. I think what most of us is saying here is take your abilities and use them to the best that you can. I'm hearing, so I really don't know what it's like to live in a mostly soundless world. However, many of you don't know what it's like to not be able to willfully get up and walk across a room whenever the mood strikes, either. Regardless, none of us are sitting around complaining about what we lost and bemoaning it as the "tragedy of the century".
