People call my deaf side my “bad ear”, but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't.In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.
Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however.On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell.As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren't those for old men?” At that moment, I felt different.It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.
But it's not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hardofhearing people feel like burdens.Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it.Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.
