yeah it would be confusing for you, i cant imagine what's it like to be formerly a hearing person...but culturally you are still *hearing*..but this seems to be fading for you as you wouldn't enjoy music as you once did or 'IN-the-hearing-world-without-the isolating experiences'...like you didnt have to 'worry about it' like it now like an uninvited stranger in your house -pernamently...i guess you'd jsut have to 'make freinds with that stranger' for its in *your house* (reading mind/cultural?your body/your life your social activities list goes on).
I have been reading a little on ambiguity of identity...and I'd hope there will be mroe research on this....because in future CI's (as it improves ((and no i dont want one)) leave me be natural and that its useless to me as im NOT a culurally Deaf nor a culturally Hearing...er...im a 'culturally HOH' in a weird way but I still appreciate Deaf politics - probably more so than more 'self-proclaimed Deaf persons might) which shouldnt be surprising as I am a sociology academic (not working not thinking that far yet) and even at the just-now-spilled-out-bits of culturally HOH...needs exploring too...BUT to confuse even more i am NOT a HOH...dont feel like one...duh so..just to say im confused too!!
