PFH: why should I seek/need your approval for anything? I hate to inform you I have been living a bit longer than you! My 2 sons are both older than you!
I noticed you DIDN"T answer the question posed:what do YOU describe - being "BORN Deaf"- UNABLE TO HEAR anything if NOT SILENCE- than what? Too simple to answer? Do you label "that" as a non "pathological/audiological" condition?
Off to real work: deaf swimming. I can't hear the music playing and before you tell me again- why I don't "hate" myself for being bilaterally deaf-- read my user name about being your own best friend. Right-even if deaf/Deaf!
