Being born hard of hearing must have been difficult for my mother. I think about it more now that I am older.Back then there were fewer answers, less information, and technology had not quite caught up yet. Hearing aids were not the sleek, intelligent tools they are today. Parents like my mum were navigating unfamiliar territory with very little guidance.
You know one thing I used to be genuinely terrified of when meeting someone new?
It wasn’t the usual worries like “What if they don’t like me?” or “What if I spill food on my top?” Although both have happened.
