Really love this. Thank you Carly @myhearingloss for building awareness around Deaf Gain
The term Deaf Gain emphasises the unique perspectives and strengths that can come with having hearing loss. In this blog, I talk about some of my Deaf Gains and explain how losing my hearing has enriched my life in ways I’d never have imagined! 👂🦻 💜 carlysygrove.com/blog/hearin…
