Hi Andrew,
My name is Sharon Hooley. Welcome to this list! I was born blind, and my
hearing has dwindled gradually until I received the cochlear implant a year
ago last December. I know what it's like to not be included, and when I was
a schoolgirl I didn't like the idea of using a cane and hearing aids. Those
are for old people, right? I thought.
Your new friend,
Sharon
