Usually am a secluded and lurking person when it comes to forums.. but decided I'd give it a shot anyway, after all, I need to face my realities (though still quite not there, because I'm under another alias).
I'm 23, Asian (mandarin Chinese and part korean heritage) from socal, born in states and lived here all my life. I've greatly enjoyed my travels to asian countries in my lifespan, I speak english and mandarin fluently, took some introductory and a little intermediate Japanese courses, know a bit of korean (which I regret that I dropped out of when I was a punk child who didn't care about it) and spanish. All my life I've felt somewhat secluded and tried to fit in with my friends, usually trying as much as the battle would take at my own costs.
I graduated from UC Irvine, and now currently work at an aerospace company as an nondestructive ultrasonic testing engineer.
Hobbies of mine are automobiles, jogging, working out, snowboarding/skiing, martial arts, videogames (started with the NES in the 80's), pets (nice ones), and lots of miscellaneous things.
Here's the plot peak - when I was a child, around two or three or so, my father's story starts out that he found out that whenever he would give me a phone, I'd always put it on my right ear. Once, he put it on my left and I instantly put it over to my right. That was when it was the biggest indication of it all. His premonitions came true. Although none of my relatives or bloodline are deaf/hard of hearing, we don't think it's genetics, though there's always possibly chance. It's theorized that a crazy-high fever/flu that took over me those years, along with non FDA-approved medicine with side effects led to my ears with sensineural hard of hearing loss. My left can only receive ~10% sound and not comprehend it (like garbled speech). The right is the good, started out with atleast an 80% receiving rate, but has gradually declined over the years where I'd now say it is a 25% rate.
anyhow, enough of me and glad to have met you all.
PS - i found this forum because I was jogging after work today and i dropped my HA on the street and it stopped functioning
. Atleast googling led me to find this.
