What would you change about your deafness, your ci/hearing aids, your life etc
 
Probably try harder to be closer to family and friends
 
my teenager years...I had a HORRIBLE teenager years...rather not to talk about it.

So i would like to go back and change to be a HAPPY teenager!
 
i would be more confident and talk to more people if i could change it. also see and talk to my dad more
 
if i could change anything? Wow... well in that case id rather been born on time and have perfect hearing as a result.

Same here but I'm not bothered about my hearing loss

How premature was you?

couple months. I was sick as fuck as a kid too so im sure that could have had something to do with things as well but after audiologists examined me over the years they concluded my being born premature contributed to the deafness in my left ear. I do have a lot of hearing in the other ear but it still limits me to pursue certain things which blows. Thats just the way it goes though i guess. Being fully hearing would be nice however lol.
 
Doctors have decided that im deaf in both ears due to being born premature and the drugs damaging my hearing. My twin sister is not deaf though. But i did have more medication than her so that must be why

Well at least you live in england.

im jealous.
 
if i could have changed anything, i would have changed the fact that i isolated myself too much from family and friends.
 
I wish if i could change, i would have more confidence to tell people when i have problems instead of keepin to myself and makin myself worse
 
I'd rob banks if I was in the cowboy times.

But if I went back to CHANGE something, I'd change the way it started. The cavemen were bashing women with clubs and dragging them home to make babies. What if I were to make the cavewomen to bash the men in a group, you know like 3 versus 1 and such, would the world be a lot different? Would threesome be the most casual thing as 1 on 1 is?

how much did you weigh at birth? i weighed 2 pounds and was 4 months premature.
 
@ imdeafsowhat: 11 pounds??:shock: Your poor mother. I do hope for her sake that you were a c-section baby.

Anyway back to topic, I wish i started learning asl years ago.

I wasn't.

My mother howled for hours and hours. I was a great achievement that my mother made. How odd.
 
If i could change my time or go back in time, i would make sure my father would have gone to the doctors as soon as he fell ill


:(
 
Without a thought, I would assume I would change nothing. But when I think about it, there are many things I would change. I would not have wasted $30k trying to save my hearing. I would have had 9 years to adjust to being deaf and learning to sign, and my family would be comfortable signing by now.

I would never have left my home to go to college. I would have instead stayed and gone to local college. I expect I would have graduated by now and gotten a respectable job.

There are other things I would change too, but at this point, I don't think they're as important.

Oh, I very much regret not asking my doctor for pain medicine this morning :tears:
