Lipreading Mom’s friend, Joy
Joy recently shared that she is having trouble hearing and that her ears are sensitive to loud noise. I was glad to be a support to Joy when she came to me with questions about her hearing. And I was thrilled when Joy sent me this clever photo (notice her ear plugs) for my hearing loss awareness project, Show Me Your Ears.
Joy, you are amazing.
M. Dank proudly wears this tattoo behind his ear and hearing aid. It is translated: “No man is more deaf than he who doesn’t listen.” So true!
Young Sawyer enjoys dinner while showing off his cool bionic-looking Phonak Versatas and Spidey earmolds. Now that’s what I call eating with style!
Q, age 3, shows off her pink Phonak hearing aids and her girly-girl style. Love that sweet smile, too!
Elizabeth Simmons, age 19, has worn Phonak hearing aids for 17 years. Love that smile, too!

Love this: No man is more deaf than he who doesn’t listen.”

Reblogged this on A P D iva and commented:
I find both these women (Lipreading Mom and friend Joy) amazing inspirations through such a wonderful story. I love the fact that she shared two different sides of hearing (both the loss and sensitivity). I also found this quote so amazing, and from an APDer’s perspective, SO true! “No man is more deaf than he who doesn’t listen.”
@abdiva – I am so glad you liked Joy’s story. She is an amazing mom, wife, and friend. Blessings to you.
