What very few people know is that I'm deaf in my right ear due to chronic ear infections as a child and was also exposed to loud farm machinery. I have perfect hearing in my left ear.While I may not catch every word in a conversation or while watching tv, I can do anything that a healthy and able-bodied person can do and perhaps then some! I've taught myself a bit of sign language, plus I can read lips. I've also developed and heightened my other senses to where I'm always aware.
I once dated a blind man who was an absolute sweetheart. Sadly, we lost touch when we went to different universities. I have no trouble at all with dating someone who has a disability.
