Pardon Me, You’re Addressing an Ornamental Ear http://goo.gl/fb/uknub #karen #memoirs
It must have been challenging when you were younger, how has your brain adapted over the years to that ornamental ear?
Petunia´s last blog ..Anniversary
Well, it seems that my brain has made some adjustments. I think the discrepancy must be quite a bit greater than it was when I was a teenager, and yet I’m a small bit better at tasks that require the cooperation of 2 ears.
Mainly the thing is that when I get lost or fail to respond in expected was, I now explain that there are some processing issues — hearing and otherwise — that are not the same thing as be being lost in my own head.
There is someone on this site who has a son with a significant degree of hearing impairment in both ears. She wrote about how he was suspected of having various other learning issues until the hearing issue was discovered. A lot of things are solvable in one way or another once a person discovers what they are… and what they aren’t. Me, I can find my way out of a phone booth — but that’s about all I can find my way out of. In and of itself, that isn’t such a big deal. (Allow extra time to get places.

That must be one beautiful ear! Fascinating to read how you adapted over the years.
Karen I was just having a conversation with my husband the other day about noticing him looking away when people were talking to him or even sometimes looking down. Ta da…found out he is having trouble hearing and turns his head so his ‘good ear’ can hear. When he is looking down he said he is concentrating on trying to hear what the person is saying. I’ll have to show him your story here.
