Oh, Buffalo, lol, I've considered moving out, and I really do love where I live. I was born here, and have lived here most of my life.
And Madison, about living in a silent world with hearing all around me, if I were to move as Buffalo suggests, I'd like to move to a place where there are lots of deaf, but not too far from home, and certainly not expensive places! I really hate moving though! 
ClearSky, My mom has learned to flip the light years ago for me, but my dad seems to have a learning disorder in that area of his brain. It hasn't been long that my HAs are useless, but I often went without them even when I could wear them because I didn't like them, and I didn't like buying batteries either.
