WHAT a brilliant article by Sue Cotton for Deafness Aware Week (Daily Echo, May 6).
No one who is not deaf can completely understand what it's like. People sympathise but that's it.
The feeling of isolation is, as she says, dreadful with everyone talking around you and you have no idea what they are discussing.
There's no cinema, no theatre and no music. I have had to give up singing and treasurer duties.
The final straw is that when you tell someone you are deaf, you are immediately treated as if your brain gone as well.
THELMA ASH, Bishopstoke.
