What is your first name? Brad
Are your parents deaf or hearing? Mom hearing/ Dad partial deaf
If they were hearing, do you feel you got the proper support? My mother has been there since day 1, my dad passed away when I was young (no doubt, he would have been right beside me aswell)
What was your childhood like as far as making friends, did you get bullied? I am late deafened (about 20 when I lost my hearing BUT I lost hearing in the right at age 10). I never had a problem in school, I actually hung around the older kids (freshman hanging out with juniors/seniors)
Do you play any sports? No BUT thats because I had surgery at 10 and they had remove a piece of skull and they told me I could not play sports. I really wanted to play football
Would you date a hearing person? Possible, as long as they are knowledgeable of the situation
Last question, and I would understand if you didn't want to answer. I have to ask, have you ever thought about what life would be like if you were not deaf? Do you feel you would be a different person? If so, how so?
seeing how I am late deafened I have thought about this numerous times. I was in school to be a radiology tech. but had to drop out because the school "said they would help with my hearing" BUT in reality they refused. After my next surgery, if I get some hearing back, I am going to try to go back to school and finish my degree
