Hi, I am totally deaf in my left ear and profoundly deaf in my right. I am able to get by with 1 superpower H.A and lip reading. Without the h.a. I am unable to hear anything. When people ask me about my hearing I say Im deaf but they get confused because I can hold a close up conversation with them. So would you say that I am deaf or H.O.H? I absolutely hate the term Hard of Hearing. But I have lived in a hearing world because I have no friends or family that are deaf or know sign. What is the correct way to identify my hearing to others?
