Who are you and what did you just say?

i would rather lose my hearing. my cousin has been hearing impaired since birth and she has coped very well...she starts college at the end of this month.

Sorry to know it Sunny. Do you feel online is easier to get to know people because of that?

My hearing in going anyways so I'm good at reading lips. I want to keep my sight there is soo mutch things I haven't seen yet

I already wear hearing aides.. and have been told by specialists I will be deaf one day... so I'm gonna go with deaf... I'd rather be able to see all that is to come

Exactly! There are other ways to communicate, and words and meanings will not change as much or as quickly as all that we see in our lives.

Your better than me I refuse to wear mine because I think I'm in denial about how bad my hearing is.

Well being a person that wears glasses/contacts... I have to say that not seeing clearly sucks... let alone being blind. My dreams consist of traveling and seeing the Great Pyramids, Stonehedge, etc... I would lose out on that if I were blind. I think it's so much easier to adapt if you are deaf (not originally) like reading lips and becoming observative for anything from facial expressions to body language. If you go blind, yes you can still hear but there is so much of the world you will miss because hearing is not the sense it requires to admire it.

Id rather be able to see

Dont be sorry. I am good. i accepted with it.
Thank you

absolutely! I needed my hearing aides over 20 yrs ago.. didn't get them til about 4-5 yrs ago.. made my way thru life by reading lips and other creative ways.

I am soooooooooooooooooo enjoying hearing while I still can... finding out that one can hear the rain.. hearing my children's giggles... music!... but if hard pressed to choose.. I'd rather give up sound than sight.

.. it is all for you.

For you Sunny

Nice to talk all of you. I go now. waves
