No, I didn't; nothing as bad as that. Yes, I think I'd have more trouble in some ways because I couldn't hide it. I would have been shunted off to a "special needs" school, and that's the track I'd be on.
Is that why you covered it up - to avoid being shunted off to a "special" school?
there was not the case. my hearing was good enough for school at the time but not good enough for everything [ like people beind me made fun of me i couldn't hear so imagine :) ] also it was difficult in high noise, in the dark, when i couldn't see them talk basically was harder to "hear".
What i tried to do, was because i feel..maybe shame? i didn't want to be guy asking " what? what? what? what?" and also my nature is to entertain i guess.
So i devised some sort of sneaky plan to get around it.
As you'll see in second part, it was pretty fun..but has unexpected side effects!
I'll be waiting for it!
