I can’t abide the way people are led to believe
that a hearing aid cures deafness when in actual fact all it can do is make
what you can hear louder, even with all this new technology and modern hearing
aids that are so much improved since the days of the ear trumpet, and now
hearing aids with what I call ‘surround sound’ (I can hear behind me) I still
hear wrongly and I still miss out if the subtitles are not on the telly, I am
still deaf!
Anyway, all of this made me feel quite angry. I was surprised that it was anger that I felt
and after taking a long hard look at myself, I decided anger was the correct
term so I decided to write about my personal experiences and show how being
deaf is so much more than not hearing and impacts on all aspects of my daily
life and how I finally overcame the shame and embarrassment of being deaf,
