How have you stayed positive when people in authority told you that you cannot do what hearing people do?
Thank you for sharing! It is very encouraging to learn about your music. I’m hearing impaired too and was recently told that I could not be in sound art class by a professor in a very famous art school. She outright said that she could not accommodate me as a disabled student who cannot hear very well. According to her, a reputable sound artist, I’m basically unteachable and disruptive because i need differentiated instruction. She also did not want my assistive listening device- neck loop around her equipment because she thought it might disrupt her recordings during class. It would not.
I’m leaving this art school next year and transferring to another school who offered me a doctrinal degree to research how schools can better accommodate students with hearing impairments. I will fight back with my pen.
