Yes, it can happen that quickly! You hear fine today but wake up in the morning and everything is silent! Think about it!
Silence Is Golden
You are deaf in a hearing world, what are you missing? What do you love to do? Go to church, movies, watch TV, listen to the radio, dance to the music, listen to the sounds of nature, birds tweeting, horns honking, children playing…
Now imagine it all taken away, and
- You are one of the millions of deaf and hard of hearing people worldwide.
- You are forced to make adjustments with or without help, and quite often, without understanding.
- Deafness or loss of hearing affects every aspect of your life.
- The life you know does not exist anymore. This is the stark reality of hearing loss and deafness.
Yes, silence is golden ~ when you get a choice! What will you do if it happens to you?
Did you know, most hearing people…
- Think because you wear hearing aids – you can hear just like they hear?
- Think a cochlear implant gives you total hearing – again?
- Think everyone who is deaf or hard of hearing uses or understands Sign Language?
- Are unaware of the difficulties and problems D/deaf and hard of hearing people face on a daily basis?
- Are not being disrespectful or rude – they simply don’t understand deafness and hearing issues?
Together, we can make a silent world better. Let’s start opening those doors today ~ that we might pass through tomorrow.
