Sherri who is in the blue dress in this picture was my tutor. She worked with me for few years to work on my speaking and speech before I went to school. We had a special preschool class to help me to talk since I didn't start talking at age 3 when I worn my first hearing aids.
I had to go speech therapy when I started at age 3 years old to 18 years old. I had trouble saying and hear with ch, sh, s, k, th sounds in the high frequency of my hearing loss.
I always have trouble with my vocabulary words and reading skills from my hearing loss. I had to work very hard with my speech and improve my communication with people. When I don't understand what people are saying to me or read something, I have to ask someone to make this information clear so I can understand.
Today, I am starting to read more online with articles and web sites. I am working to build my vocabulary words when I read from the Internet. I always like to learn new things if I don't understand or something new that I love to learn. I do still have trouble with my skills, but I have to work harder to understand.
