Are you deaf?

Question:

Hello. I have an ear infection. It's causing me to become deaf. I'm really scared, and very sad. Will you please tell me what it's like to be deaf, and if it makes you sad that you can't hear? How much more difficult is life? Were you born deaf, or did you become deaf? Do you recommend learning sign language, reading lips, or something else?

I'm sorry if it seems as though I'm being too personal. I'm just frightened...

Answers:
I had an ear infection in my only working ear, for 2 years. I slowly lost a little hearing during those 2 years. I also have a ringing in your ear. See an ENT right away...get it cleared up!
Good luck Hon!

They should be able to implant hearing aids in your ear.
