let’s start here. Many times I heard from people told stories about their experiences with bishops or priests who think they are GOD. Deaf people always been frustrated by their families for cure to be hear again. Well, look whatever they were deaf at birth and no way to heal cure to be hearing. If want cure then make them to be hearing to put cochlear implant. No I not mean to be rude but humor saying. Many of us called CI as robots.
Many of deaf dislike wearing hearing aides because they think they not need hear so deaf is peace…no noises. Not sure how many deaf people wore HA? I sees some of them wore like me. I raised the experience with eyes and hearing.
Elders does loss the hearing and wore hearing aides. Not meant they are deaf like us. They just lost their hearing but experience more than us. We, deaf experience without hearing in our life. One person who is DJ and profoundly deaf. He does DJ like hearing person, he raised practically listened all the time and aware on rhythm over and over til get it. Same thing with hard of hearing listen the words and speak. Many deaf has different experiences in their life.
Me? Hearing lot of sounds and not much on words. I speak whisper so no one understands me. I played sports like normal and dances. Musical. Science-based words. Lip reader. Can’t think anymore.
Ask me if I got cochlear implants. My answer is unfortunately can’t have the surgery success. If happen, I would put it on my right ear. Why right ear is because it is profound deaf. My left ear is starting loss hearing.
Okay, let’s say repeat about deafness is possible for being deaf. Few causes: earwax builds up, generating disabilities, generating deaf families, illnesses and loss hearing in late bloom.
Me? Unknown. Born as normal but deaf. Our family guessed disabilities in the family.
THAT’S ALL, FOLKS!
