Hey, I completely lost my hearing in one ear about five years ago. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. But I'd encourage you not to be too worried about it.

Hey, I completely lost my hearing in one ear about five years ago. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. But I'd encourage you not to be too worried about it. Personally, I only notice it in very loud situations in which someone is speaking to me on my deaf side; otherwise the sound bounces around and reaches my working ear anyway. I don't feel "disabled" in any way. In fact I rarely think about it. I've been given a hearing aid, but I don't bother with it, frankly I just don't need it. The body is quite amazing at adapting.
