Being that I am currently struggling with being almost deaf myself. Starting at 13 years old and progressively getting worse. I felt all of this. I have been struggling much more due to the masks, and no longer having the ability to read lips, which has been my main way to understand anyone. I could go on on the struggles, but at the end of the day, there are worst things that could be happening to me, and I am blessed I had any hearing at all in my life...
