Ok... there are alot of benefit of being deaf! Yes... its wonderful of having eternal peace of quiet... but I do like to point out one thing that I HATE the most about people being deaf. They go out and expect people to "hand out" them everything.... going around passing cards asking for money because they can't hear and don't want to get a job, expect the government agency such as OVR, Welfare, SSI, SSDI, or whatever they can get and get a discounts on everything because they don't want to work. I'm deaf and I work as a Chef. Never went to school for being a chef. I'm what people call an "Old School" Chef. I worked in places such as 5 stars restaurants around the country (I don't do McDonald's or any fast foods places). Yes, I do have an open case with OVR, only for some of the most basic needs that I NEED. Not WANT! High Five for those hard working deaf who want to make a better place for themself.
