Welcome all,
This blog is a special blog close to my heart as it focus on my life as a profoundly deaf person. I live in the UK which as a country has many support for deaf people but sometimes not enough.
Often people assume too much, that is fact of life. Sometimes people need explaining why things are the way they are. A lot of people assume since deaf people can wear hearing aids, shouting at them will work. Nope, makes it worse, a lot worse.
There are times where deaf people use sign language as their main communciation. I'm not one of them. I was brought up to be in both worlds. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I mainly talk, which makes its less obviously when in fact I have little hearing at all. I rely on the latest and most powerful hearing aids in order to hear what I can. Even then, I cannot get everything hearing people can.
So want a feeling on how a deaf person brought up in the hearing world copes with adult life today in the UK? Well save this website to your bookmarks, you are about to find out!
