OccamsRazor said:I'm half deaf. I lost all my hearing at age 2 in my left ear due to a severe middle ear infection. Biggest problem I have is people standing on my left, can't hear them and an inability to tell what direction a sound is coming from. Apparently you need two good ears to distinguish sound direction. I lost a job at a brokerage firm where I had to answer multiple phones, about 7. Only one would ring but I couldnt figure out which one. I would have to run and feel which phone was vibrating, (from the sound) and pick it up. I could only use one phone at a time. Also people will only answer you three times.

actually betroyal is one of the best customer services in the industry. Believe it or not they are some other nasty sportsbooks customer services out there who wouldnt take the time to use relay call for the deaf people.acw said:I am deaf myself
You better not have an account with BetRoyal then!
That's really good to hear man. My sister is very much the same way as far as being proud and self sufficient.VisorMan said:I find that funny dude!!!! LOL
I love being deaf because that is who I am. Sure I would love to be hearing to be able to use the phone but god chose me to be deaf. I have been a good role model to deaf children who loves golf. I was on 2000 and 2004 USA Deaf Golf Team.
Of course If someone annoys me or baby crying I just turn off my hearing aids and it is all peace after that! someone would say "HELLO, why didnt u say something??" I would say "sorry my hearing aids are off". They would say" yea right!!!! then why you have your hearing aids ON your ear?" I just say "I turned it off!!!" LOL
Just a proud deaf dude here
