Deaf Daughter: From Deafness and Despair To Hearing and Hope

Life is strange. You spend your entire childhood growing up and the rest of your life getting over it. This is the story of how Carol navigated life with progressive hearing loss. Struggles with irate adults made her situation even more tenuous, giving new meaning to the phrase "it takes a village." By the time her hearing was finally tested at age nineteen, she was almost completely deaf. Despite athletic and artistic achievements, she struggled with poor academic performance and a shattered self image. Fielding job firings, bad relationships, DCYS and suicide fiascoes, and narrow misses from marauding cars and trains, she was a self-actualized mess. Miraculous events, however, would intervene at the most opportune times, sparing her disaster, as if an unseen presence was guiding her. At the age of forty-one she underwent surgery for a bionic ear. The gift of hearing gave her back her life, and she was finally able to relax and blossom as an art gallery owner, wife, and mother.
