Really is! This is indeed the case with deaf and blindness even though as you mentioned it's comes as a very diverse forms.Wow, that is incredibly condescending.
I think a lot of people assume that someone being blind means they can't see at all. That isn't true, there is many forms of blindness.
It's actually neither since I am legally considered deaf and blind even though I do as I said residual vision and hearing.Are you completely deaf or just hard of hearing? If you don't mind me asking.
Therefore while I can't drive a car or whatever I can walk fairly well (it's just busy streets that don't have adaptive on hand that can often be an issue).
As for hearing I just need to up the music and such to near/full volume to hear it well often time.
