About Me
- Name: Shel
- Location: Virginia, United States
I was born with Congenital Rubella Syndrome, which caused numerous physical and emotional challenges for me -- one of them being my hearing impairment. Although my loss of hearing was gradual throughout my life (I got my first hearing aid at age 13), it declined significantly for me approximately 8 yrs ago when I was around 30. Since then, I've had a severe-profound level hearing loss, and have struggled to learn ASL ... trying hard to fit in with the deaf community or the hearing world, but feeling frustrated that I fit into neither. So, now, with the miracle of the CI technology -- I have much hope that I will once again learn to hear well enough to connect with the hearing world!
