Jim had spent most of his life alone. The solitary nature of his disability and the constant moving had made it difficult for him to make friends.

I had spent many years before I was 31 hearing people tell me, Oh Man, you're so funny, you need to be in television. But that and a quarter won't get you on a bus. ↗

The thing about hearing loss is that no one can see it. Most people are so impatient; they just assume that the person with hearing loss is being rude, or slow-witted. ↗
