I am not Hearing Impaired
I am not "Hearing Impaired"
These words offend me
These words surround me
These words enter my ears
These words give me anger
Much more than anger, like a temperature increasing and exploding
I am not "Hearing Impaired"
Don't think I can't do it because I simply can't hear it
Without my hearing aids
I can hear a loud music
I can hear a person shouting
I can hear a person talking close to me
Just-A-Little-Bit
I am not "Hearing Impaired"
I do struggle to hear
I do have a hard time understanding
But
It doesn't mean that my ears are "impaired"
It doesn't mean that my ears are unfixable
It is fixable
But
It is too risky
I am not "Hearing Impaired"
I am Hard of Hearing
