There's really no point in thinking about 'what ifs' because it ain't gonna happen. Just make good and full use of what we have (left). I don't think it's an irony. Things happen for a reason, and perhaps, it's meant to be as such to enable us to lead fuller and richer lives compared to our 'normal' friends. It’s always a challenge to live life to the fullest.

In some ways, we experience more deeply and intensely. :) Yes, that is indeed a very good antidote to the poison of wallowing in misery and depression about one’s deafness.

In some ways, we experience more deeply and intensely.

I guess the very fact that we are using all we can to stay in touch with what's going on at any point of time means that we are always interested and focussed on what we do. It may be a road less travelled and more challenging than that our hearing counterparts trekked on, but it's beautiful and teaches us to soak in more along the way. It's an irony. Being deaf means we are disadvantaged in some ways, but it also means we don't take things for granted and work harder in relating to people. All things considered, our lives usually become richer by the fact that we stopped and smelled the roses along the way because we noticed they were there. We all work harder and live harder as well.
