I am going to answer based on my mother's answers to me. When my mother asked for assistanced she felt rejected. My hearing loss was found when I was 3 and my mother tried to find the appropriate educational placement for me and was refused. She then made a choice for oral education. My daily life did not have contact with HOH or deaf individuals. I lived in the country our neighbors were the cows. I only had one deaf individual in all my years of school as a friend. I didn't seek since I did not feel the connection.
