The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences as somebody who is little by little losing his hearing in one of the ears. At times, I might take things lightly, and I hope no one gets offended. It is my view that self-deprecating humor is a healthy thing.
At other times, I might sound down. Which is perfectly normal. Hearing loss is not an easy thing, it is a disability, and it can affect you personally and professionally, as most disabilities do. Most telling, though, a lot of people treat you as if you are either dummy or a person without manners, for it is very difficult to detect a person who has a hearing impairment, as opposed to a blind or wheelchair bound individual. In other words, we do not get much sympathy.
I hope it helps those who are going through the same problem, and enlightens those who do not have the problem
