I laugh at myself a lot for the same reason Mr.Day dose,cause if I dont they will, being profoundly deff on one hand is a blessing and on the other a royal pain in the ass.I have learned to deal with the hearing world far better than it has with me.Acctually not hearing other peoples bs is a good thing,with my aids on its way to much to process so lots of times I dont have them on.G-d help me when the vertago hits and im like a saterday night drunk.Since I quit

rideing my balance is worse at times....then there is the stuttering that with as much therapy I have had over the years pops up now and then.All in all I just keep going on cause its the way my world is,the peeps that count are ok with it,the ones who arent..well its there prob not mine.
