Deafness

I was on the bus today when a few deaf people got on. I mean, I didn’t know they were deaf at the time, but when they sat down and started using a lot of gestures that I had never seen before, I was pretty sure.

But that’s not really the point of the story. It reminded me of how I randomly went deaf in my left ear for part of orientation week this year. It was only for a few days, but it was a very scary experience.

At first it was just fading out and I could compensate for it but a few hours later I was totally deaf in that ear. It was probably the biggest loss of body control I’ve ever had. And these guys on the bus were a very horrible reminder of that.
