Are you actually deaf? Short answer is yes. Long answer is, I have about 2 % hearing, sometimes a little more, sometimes less.
Were you born this way? Yes, I was born with an illness that destroyed my ears, eardums, and the bone surrounding my ears
If you are deaf, how do you play games? I use a program called breakaway audio, which gives me some sound ability, kind of like having a built in hearing aid. I also use vibration capable headsets to pick up more sounds I cannot hear.
How can you talk so well? Although I was born with this disease, it was a slow progression, so I was able to learn to speak and interact with people until I lost most of my hearing.
Isn't what you have called hearing impairment, not being deaf? Legally, once you have reached a certain point of hearing loss, you are considered deaf by medical terms.
