I've been deaf in one ear from a child and it is very disabilitating sometimes,I cannot hear certain tones and anyone that mumbles is a nightmare,luckily I have good hearing in my other ear,but I'de hate to think what it would be like to lose my hearing in that ear,it can and is quite embarrassing sometimes.
