I often aim to misbehave myself, and did on my trip to Haiti. I am learning to use that same attitude in application to my hearing loss. Some people misbehave simply to draw attention to themselves or to partake in the drama of life, but others misbehave as a way to get around limits other put on them. I am only as limited as I allow myself to be. It may be a fact that I am limited in my ability to hear, and I know there is little I can do to enhance that ability, though I am always trying, but those limits that are imposed upon me by not hearing in no way needs to limit me in my life as a whole. I am a whole human being even without my hearing.

Hugs,
Michele

I had no idea that Juliette Low was deaf, and you are so right about accessibility. I still find myself battling to get accessibility, why? this is the 21st century. Ya think they had just invented the hearing aid at the rate things are going, or just discovered captioning.
thanks for this post, it certainly make you think.

Deafness is not taken seriously. World over. It’s a disability that is often swept under a rug.

Yet it is one that has serious social impact for people. And it never goes away as it affects nearly every situation that we experience.

I think it is about time we rose up and made people start really taking notice of us.

I’m quite happy to misbehave with ya!

Cheers
Robyn in NZ
