Answer 2

Hi, I am deaf myself. I was born hard of hearing, one ear profoundly deaf and the other ear I had some degree of hearing, but it wears out throughout the years. When I was 11 years old, I got cochlear implant. Cochlear implant has been helping me a lot since then. I was able to speak and hear better, but I still am having difficulties with understanding what people are saying and with my pronunciations of words, especially with big words. Speaking English was not my first language, American Sign Language was my first language. I took speech classes throughout my childhood.

All deaf people have different stories. One of my deaf friends became profoundly deaf when she was stricken with really bad illness when she was two years old. She does not use any hearing devices. She only knows American Sign Language, and she have a little bit lip-reading skills.

We even have deaf cultures! There are many things about deaf people. If you want to find out more about anything that as to do with deafness, surf the internet- it has plenty. Maybe one day, you become an interpreter for the deaf! That would be great.
