Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 In the mornings I go to the dog park and this week I saw a man with an adorable little dog that was playing with my dog. I looked and noticed that he had big hearing aides and I could tell by his speech that he had hearing problems. So I just asked him how long he had hearing problems for. He told me that it had been all his life and that it had gotten worse with age. i told him that I have hearing issues too, but the opposite.. and went on to explain 4S to him. He told me that he would trade anything in the world to spend a day with my ears! I told him that I would love to take his ears for a day as well. We talked for almost two hours and I learned so much... he taught me how to read body language becasuse I have trouble modulating my voice with my earplugs in. Also, I dream of being deaf or hard of hearing but he really showed me that it is extremely difficult and what a struggle it is to connect with others. In the end we both decided to just wish for normal hearing! We are going to meet up again. Even though are problems are opposite we sure have a lot in common.
