so I'm deaf, and I get new hearing aids every 4-5 years. every time I do this, the sound is different, and I have to take some time to relearn sounds. my most recent pair is a very different brand from what I've previously had, meaning that the sound is very different as well. this, of course, means extra word to relearn sounds. this is absolutely exhausting.

I just find it strange that, while I am relearning a sense, I can't realistically take time off of school. I still have so many assignments and stuff that I have to do, all while feeling like a toddler that's been up too long.

basically, I should be allowed to have a break when I get new hearing aids without having to do 12 billion catch up assignments afterwards

Since Trump took office all videos with American Sign Language interpreters have been removed from the White House website and YouTube channels. What could be the point of this beyond pure cruelty?
