Some of you will see the warning on q-tips saying “don’t insert into ear canal” and take it seriously like some kind of chump. They want your ears full up so you can’t hear the world around you. My shits so polished clean I can hear the constant shriek of the earth turning on its axis.

Hi im HoH. I was mainstreamed my whole life and only knew one other deaf person (my uncle, who we have very little contact with). I feel incredibly inadequate in both communities. I'm not hearing enough and im not deaf enough. I cant sign, but I cant understand most people when theyre talking to me. I dont know what to do. I feel totally lost?

I think this is a problem that a lot of HoH people raised hearing relate to: not feeling like they belong to either community of people and not knowing where they fit in. But you are certainly welcomed in the deaf community. Being able to sign isn’t the only thing that Deaf people have in common, and not all HoH/deaf people sign. If it’s something you want to learn, there are resources available to do that. And you don’t have to choose one or the other. Do what’s best for you.

I jUst LoVe when people get annoyed when I ask them to repeat something. Like I’m sorry I was born like this?? Also my audiologist said that I’m just getting older and that’s why I feel like I have worse hearing but I’m 14??
