That Deaf Girl ... I am a very loving and outgoing person. The audiologist that I visit on occasion at the local medical facility, once told me that people in general really don’t have a clue about how they should speak to a partially deaf person. People are just genetically geared to assuming that everyone else can hear as well as they do with the possible exception of people like myself who can’t hear that well in the first place. That may sound a bit strange to you but is very true indeed.

I’m partially deaf you see ,Severely so. I have always been refered to as "that deaf girl" and even with my expensive, high end hearing aids, I still rely heavily on facial expressions and watching mouths form words.I can only hear certain peoples voices if the voice is pitched just right. I am looking for someone to love me for who i am and not take advatage of me being disabled like so many people have before. I look forward to getting to know people that i can relate with and honestly just be me with (:
