One thing you can do is learn American Sign Language. That helps make communication easier (it's more visual). It's best if you learn with someone, but it's ok to learn alone too. Also, look for events in your area and connect with other deaf and hard of hearing people. That way you feel less alone and have people that you can relate to.

Coming to terms to an illness, injury, or disability that is out of your control can be nerve breaking. Having served in the military, unfortunately, I have experienced significant hearing loss. Eventually getting treatment for severe hearing loss can be costly, including numerous doctor's visits and obtaining hearing aids. Accepting your condition is the first step to recovery. Adjustment to civilian life because of your injury can be a process, but with professional help you can find ways for others to help you. Confine in a friend and don't ever give up just because you have a disability.

Beethovan was deaf, too! We now live in an age where hearing aids are very affordable and many are so discreet than they're barely visible if at all. So, problem fixed, no?

by having self confidence and understanding that it is okay. it is not the end of the world and no one is perfect. we could have hearing problems vision problems speaking problems it's okay we might lose something but gain another thing. you will still enjoy things just like anyone and have amazing opportunities to do things you love and there is a solution for everything. just dont give up.

Being deaf/hard or hearing is nothing to be ashamed of. There are so many sources out there that can help you discover how to accept it and even help you flaunt it. Many people in the Deaf culture will be more than happy to help.

Try and find people in your local Deaf community, claiming disability as identity can be really helped by seeking out the community around your identy. Talking to people who are going through and have been through similar experiences, and seeing those people thrive with their Deafness can make a huge difference.

You can accept that you are deaf and have hearing loss is by don't feel bad for what you don't have and be grateful for what you do have and just enjoy the life chosen and got created for you because everyone faces challenges everyday it may be different but in the end it depends on what choices you chose and how you are seeing your future if you look it in a negative way it won't get you far if you see the positive anything you desire from impossible will be possible there may be times when you stumble and fall but just get back up and try again.

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.
