I’ve been hard of hearing since childhood, but I never talked about it—I just learned to live with it. As I got older, hearing became harder, and I realized it was also affecting the people around me. Many don’t understand that being HOH isn’t just about turning up the volume—it’s more complex than that.Bambi Rodriguez, book author
