This is an excellent essay about why deafness matters to ALL of us. Please take a moment to read this. Even though the statistics are those from the U. K. the stats can't be too far off from the U.S. I once read the stats for U. S. was 1 in 10. Click the highlighted link and it will take you there.

Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston
