Thats right! Im deaf. I was born deaf. I know American sign language. I have cochlear implant. Its a small device that make me somewhat hear. I cant hear as good as next guy, but i hear most of them and any word I miss, I have to fill in the blanks.
Its like
Someone said "Hello, how is your day?
I might hear "Hello, how is your ___?
I have to like fill in the blank.
My hearing are terrible when Im in a loud place or many people are talking at the same time like in the cafeteria where 1000 students are talking at the same time.
Being deaf isnt that bad. It have tons of advantage.
One of my brother is terrible at playing music, but he love playing guitar and drums. He plays them so loudly, so I can easily turn it off and not hear a thing.
When youre sleeping, I can turn it off and I wont have sounds waking up like thunderstorm, or annoying birds chirping, or even your mom vaccuuming the house.
What I hate the most is some people say things like this "aww poor you, youre deaf. I am so sorry." It just piss me off
I bet nobody wouldve thought Im deaf
Anyone else is deaf? Or know anybody close who is deaf?
