How to accept that I am deaf/ have a hearing loss?

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.

Well, it's never really easy to accept a disorder in which you have, but if you have hearing loss, you need to begin to think of methods of ways to live with it. For example learning sign language or begin to read lips. The human nature and well, all livings things adapt to their environment. So if you were to have hearing loss, it's best to not rather mourn over it, but to accept it and find a way in which you can either use it to your advantage or to overcome the obstacle which is in your way. Then again my experience with this specific topic is very feeble and I wish the best of luck to you.

I am hard of hearing, so I will discuss some of my experiences in this answer. One thing to do is to take an ASL (American Sign Language) class if at all possible. If not, look for ASL resources online. Also, look for any Deaf events in your area. If there are none, go on social media and join some groups for people who are Deaf and/or hard of hearing. Also, do not be afraid to share the fact that you have a hearing loss with others. If you need something repeated or captions on the TV, say so. Be your own advocate. This includes in the work place as well. When I go out with friends, I always try to go somewhere well lit and with minimal background noise (unless I am with friends who know ASL). I also try to sit across from the speaker; I ask for a round table in a restruaunt if I am with a group of people, so I can read everyone's lips. Also, if you use a Cochlear Implant or hearing aids, do not be afraid to wear it. Some people even choose to accessorize theirs with things such as stickers and colored duct tape. There are even companies that sell hearing aid and cochlear implant decorative accessories. Being Deaf does come with it's own sets of challenges, but it also gives you a lot as well. It gives you access to the Deaf community, which is full of so many amazing people. You have motivation for learning a new language and become bilingual (which also looks fantastic on job applications). If you want to talk more about this, feel free to message me and we can set up a chat time. Best of luck.

Hearing loss can be really challenging, we have lived our whole lives using it as a communication tool without a second thought, losing that can feel isolating and scary. I think a good place to start is to do lots of research on your hearing loss, the resources available to you and the things you can still do without your hearing. Becoming an expert on your ears may help you accept why it has happened and how you can adapt to it, and knowing what opportunities are still out there for you can help you see that having full hearing is not necessary to have fun! I found out through researching that with my hearing loss, I could still hear good bass lines in music, so I started re-discovering a lot of music which was something I had been terrified to lose. I also found a deaf support group in my area that met once a fortnight which really helped me talk about my worries and make friends who had similar problems. The help available will depend on your area, and everyone has different needs, so take some time to become an expert in what is out there for you.
