The title of my talk is "Put the light on, I can't hear you". If this sounds silly – just think about it! Deafness to me is where I cannot hear a sound, even a loud disco music without help of a hearing aid. Deafness can be caused by a mother contracting German measles this resulting in Rubella. Other causes may be meningitis, or deafness may be hereditary. I'm going to talk a little about myself. I was born deaf. When I reached my second ...
Well, the last couple of days have been busy, exciting, relieving, and moving. And there were a number of milestones as well.

I remember once taking some costumes from a school play up to the attic. It was a dark and dusty space, with a strong smell of ...
It’s taken me a while to write this blog… I don’t expect comment… nor do I expect advice as we are in the hands of the right people, I’m writing this blog for the reasons that it might help someone someday not go though the pain we have been though.

We both have the same symptoms ...
