I am deaf, on paper I am deaf; with 'assistance' I am technically hard of hearing and says so on paper too.  But I still refer to myself as deaf because well.. that's what I am...still can't hear for beans in many situations or understand so hard of hearing doesn't really fit...FOR ME.</blockquote>
