Um...without ears?

So you're probably wondering why there's a blog entitled - "Without my Ears". Yeah I would be too. First of all, WELCOME TO WITHOUT MY EARS! I'm so excited you're reading my blog!!!

Now, before your mind gets too far, I DO have physical ears. I'm not deformed and I do not bear any likeness to an alien -- except sometimes when my eyebrows are messed up, I can bear a slight resemblance to a Vulcan. But, I do have ears -- and they're not pointy!! However, my ears (the inside part) do not work properly. The professional name for my hearing loss is: (ready?) A Bilateral Sensineural Profound Hearing Impairment with Affected Speech. All that means is I have about 15-20% of usable hearing in both of my ears, and because I can't hear, you can imagine my speech sounds a little funny. But that is one of the perks of blogging, you don't have to hear me speak, and I don't have to try to hear you! So this should work out well for all of us!

A heads up

So here is a little more about me, and a heads up especially if you're the sensitive type like me. As you can imagine, having a disability in this world is a rather unique experience and can give you an interesting perspective. I am going to share that with you, hence the blog. I tend to be a very honest person when I write. I don't know, I would think that is encouraged in blog writing. But I am a Probie blogger (if you follow NCIS -- if you don't, you should because it is only the best show on TV!!) so I don't know all the rules. So, I just may step on toes -- such as people who ask me how I drive a car if I'm deaf need to get a clue! -- but don't take anything personally! -- If you didn't get that, I don't know about regular hearing people, but deaf people usually use their eyes to drive, not ears. But there will be no personal attacks, that's not my style.
