Can You Hear Me Now?

Words unheard

Gaps like the yawning earth

Misunderstood becomes the daily norm.

Eye rolls

Comments that chop through the soul

Loneliness abounds.

Unnatural sounds

Noise recycled like a siphoned fish tank

Frustration exists.

Homonym confusion

Elementary means gain clarity

Deafness is not stupidity.

Show, don't tell

Text, don't call.

Remembering means the world to me.

P or C or T? 2 or 3?

Can you hear me now?

No, I probably won't, even if you spell it out.

No insurance coverage

Ears aren't as important as eyes

Words make the world go 'round.

Money spent

Can you hear me now?

Yes, but still please spell it out.

I am severely hearing impaired. This has impacted all aspects of my life. 

I wear a hearing aid in my left ear. I cannot hold long telephone conversations. 

I tend to avoid get togethers and playdates with more than one parent.

I am a social butterfly with clipped wings. 

Did you know that there is no insurance company that will cover the cost of hearing aids, not even partially?
