    If you found a cure for your hearing loss, would you use it?

    Honestly, no. I am who I am and i'm happy with who i am. Hearing to me is like having a lexus when not hearing is like having a toyota. I'm sure the shiny bumpers and the touch screen stereo are nice, but my camry gets me to work all the same.

    Your opinion on the word: "disability"

    I do not. I own one for my right side - Hardly wear it though. I find it uncomfortable, and it doesn't help much. My left side is basically non existent and my right side is on the high end of moderate to the low end of severe hearing loss. How bout you?

    Hey Shane. I'm also in Bc. I do sign ( however in PSE not ASL). I grew up Hoh, and am now what i would call nearly completely deaf. I hear only low bass sounds, and only when they are loud and really close by. Always good to connect with others within the deaf community in Bc. I know a few, but...
