Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

I have helped and am helping people cope with loss, divorce, anguish and parenting. Depression is also a major issue that comes up.

Befriend positive people who have got hearing loss. See which positive things they have got despite hearing loss. Imitate them. Many deaf/hard of hearing people accept their condition and do in life very well.
Being deaf is a wonderful thing. The deaf culture is amazing they are very supportive and can help you accept you for you.
No one is perfect in this world and we all have to accept that we aren't either. Try telling yourself that having hearing loss is not a big deal and there are a lot of other people experiencing the same! :)

Dear, no one is perfect here. Not you, Not me. First, try to accept the fact that no one is perfect. It is impossible for anyone to be perfect from all aspects. Being deaf might be hurtful, but it is not a to feel low. Try to figure out your other talents, your other strength, your other power. Try to think positively. Say it loud " what if I'm deaf? I still have lot to accomplish. Being deaf won't stop me from being me. It is not the end, It is definitely a start for my new phase of life. I'm gonna live a life where people's word not gonna bother me. This is not gonna continue. Maybe I WILL find a way to get hearing sense, or I'll try any machineries. So that, I can overcome this problem".. Hope it will help you.
Embrace your own language. Embrace the grace in your gestures. Your own people love you. Bless you, buddy. :)
This can be hard. Try meeting more people with a hearing loss and I recommend watching movies with deaf or hard of hearing people. It can make you feel less alone.
It's a really hard thing to accept to be honest but sometimes we just have to treasure the things we do have than what we dont.

Everyone has something about them that they are not proud of or are embarrassed about. Embrace it and try to find people or friends who understand.
