I recently lost most of my hearing, so I guess that makes me just HOH and not 'deaf' as it were. I have auto-immune inner ear disease, and wihtin the past six months, I lost all the hearing in my left ear, and most of it in my right. I can still hear very low octave noises if they're loud enough. It was VERY scary. Luckily for me, lipreading has come easily for me, which is totally wierd because I could NEVER do it before. I'm still going to college (it's a LOT harder now than it was last semester), and will graduate in May 2013! Yay! I was going to learn ASL, but got berated by my ENT because "Why learn something that you don't need?" I guess he meant that if I can lipread well, and I already know how to speak, what's the use? I still think that I can utilize ASL, but I'm nto so sure now.
Sorry this post is so long. I LOVE to talk to people, but nowadays people don't like talking to ME, because I still miss half of what they're saying, get distracted, etc. So I figured talking to people in this forum could help out with that.
Talk to me, and thanks in advance!
