Ok if someone talk near me.
Clinic, I go there because the clinic test my batteries.
Hard to see everyone lip when someone was behind me.
Learn to sign.
Easy to Lip read.
A cochlear implant is big.
Radio aid is for me so I can hear now.

I like deaf Club.
Mrs Harrison in HIU she work with me.
People’s faces tell me serious or if they are making a joke.
Listening is hard for me.
All my friends in the HIU are deaf.
Need batteries for cochlear implant.
Transmitter send the sound to the cochlear implant

I am part Nigerian and part English
I am part signing and whole speaking
I feel absolutely fine and confident
I am part happy and half angry
I am part confident and half shy
I am part active and lazing in a bubble bath
I am part black because my family is black and a bit white because my friends are white that is how I feel

A piece of me is neat and a piece of me is messy
I am a bit lovely and nice and a bit mean nasty also rude
I am a little deaf and a bit hearing
I am part helpful and a bit lazy

All the time I feel upset and uncomfortable about my hearing loss going down.

I love my mum and dad because I have fun with them
And they always buy what I want
I love my hearing aids
I don’t care what my sister shout, “are you deaf or not”
And screaming at me IT HURT MY EARS
I love going shopping
No matter who make noise.

I like friend deaf with Sarah-Fay and Labake can sign.

I hate loud noises if the line is quiet I can hear the bell.

I like my cochlear but don’t like hearing aids.

I'm as happy as a snake in a lake
I'm as happy as a cat with a rat
I'm as happy as a duck in the muck
I'm as happy as a pig, fat and big

I'm as happy as a dog in the fog
I'm as happy as a slug with a bug
I'm as happy as a seal with a meal
I'm as happy as a bear in a lair
