[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm rounding 40 now, but I can say honestly, hearing aids would never have bothered me. A jerk with lack of confidence would bother me.

I have a friend who had meningitis at age 4. Even with double hearing aids, she is considered deaf. she is lovely, well accomplished, smart as a whip and a dear friend. She suffers a lot of judgment about her intelligence, usually to the detriment of the person judging. She's wonderful.

A few years ago, I had a very handsome co-worker who was completely deaf. I bumbled along in ASL with him, he lip read, we wrote, he spoke. We communicated, in essence, better than many people. It was elaborate and simple at the same time. And had he asked me on a date, I'd have been all over that. He was a super nice guy, smart, great to work with, not to mention cute as heck. Years later, he let me know he had wanted to ask my out but never did, thinking I would be worried about him hearing. I wished he had asked me out..s too late now, but all I'm saying is every time I was with him, I was HOPING (yeah, don't ask my why I just didn't ask him). Confidence, brains, wit.. That's what gals dig. Hearing aid? Nah.. No worries?

If it makes you feel any better, I know a guy with cerebral palsy who needs double canes to walk. He lives in a polygamous relationship that is loving and awesome. I know for sure he's been told he'd never get ANY girl - and he has two hot women that even make ME drool ;) [/quote]
