What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

Since I was born Deaf, my parents found out when I was about a year old due to not paying attention. My mother took me to the doctor and refer her to an audiologist. The audiologist told my mom that I am Deaf and hearing aids would be the best answer. I am almost 49 years old, and I have been wearing them for a long time. There were times where I didn’t have hearing aids for about a week or so, one of my college friends lost my hearing aids at Six Flags. It was a very tough week.

Second, my glasses, I am near-sighted, without them my eyes are blurry. I started wearing them when I was about twelve or thirteen years old. There times where I couldn’t find it but found it from either my family members or my friends. I have to keep it on, I usually put it aside when I am playing with my iPhone.

iPhone for me is a necessity for me to communicate in the hearing word due to my Deafness. I can use them to communicate, I can use them to benefit me through emails, taking notes between me and the hearing person. That had happened a lot during the COVID pandemic, where everyone was wearing masks. It benefits me by hearing them as well reading their lips.

Those are the three objects that I need to have in my life.
