My hearing loss has had a profound effect on my life. The vast majority rarely encounter people under the age of sixty who have this disability. Those who live with it face a daily struggle. Others do not notice the struggle. https://www.danwild.me/2021/01/living-with-hearing-loss-the-invisible-disability/
