A: I agree though I never denied I was losing my hearing. I accepted it as part of my life.
B: Had considered taking ASL with my husband & girls early on but didn't have the $$ or time. My youngest daughter & I just finished Step 5/6 (they combined the classes) this past spring. We use it some. She, being a lot younger, has a better time if it then I do (my fault because I don't practice).
C & D: I'm a bit uncomfortable in new situation & will hesitate doing new things.
