Karen, I’m a stranger to the Reader’s Cafe, but I’d like to thank you for all your advocacy for the deaf community. My grandfather and mother have both been mostly deaf since reaching adulthood (with varying levels of hearing-aided ability), and, at 17, I am 70% deaf in one ear (without my hearing aid) with a high likelihood of losing much more of my hearing. My mother, a nurse by profession, has recently had to leave her field of work because of her increased hearing loss. The knowledge that there are strong people out there working to make the hearing community more easily navigable for the deaf renders my probable continuous hearing loss a lot less scary.

Thank so much, Erica. I wasn’t sure how well this new format would work for Readers’ Cafe. But this was awesome. Thank you everyone for joining us. The next Readers’ Cafe will be February 20th, featured guest to be announced.
