About a month ago I lost the rest of my hearing, I was hard of hearing for about 1 1/2-2 years. I am feeling a little alone. My son signs a little but the rest of my extended family does not, and probably will not learn- they just keep asking can you hear? (different sounds) I was even embarassed by my son when the last time I had to use an interpreter she informed me of some very inapporpriate and embarassing things my 12 year old son was saying about me. Plus is it wierd that I feel uncomfortable about voicing- I do when I am at home but in public I am worried because I can't hear myself, and my family doesnt get that.
I used to work in the deaf and hard of hearing program at the local school district but other than that I dont know any other people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Any suggestions, thanks
