Journey towards silence, part 6: This is real This post deals with the day that I had to really accept the reality of my hearing difference. It was a “world came crashing in” moment.

This was the day that my hearing difference became real.

Journey into silence, interlude 1: Hearing difference or hearing loss Why do I say hearing difference rather than hearing loss? I’m deaf either way, so why does this term mean something to me?

What's in a term? Hearing difference and hearing loss both apply to my experience, but I prefer hearing difference. This is a little insight into why.

Journey towards silence, part 2: Day one-ish I can remember the day that I became aware that my hearing had changed. This post is about that day and some of the days around it. Note that it includes details about injuries and hospital stays.

I remember the day I became aware my hearing had changed. I’d woken up in hospital in a six-bed ward and things sounded different. Lucy Fur has nothing to do with this, but it's a nicer image than me in hospital.
