About this user

I am a homeschooling wife & mother who studied Theater & Deaf Ed. in college.

There are 3 seemly unchanging things about me:

1.) CAPD:

I do not consider myself Hearing, Hard of Hearing, Deaf, or the "politically correct" (and Culturally INcorrect) term, "Hearing Impaired", because the Good Lord made me with a not so noticeable disability called, "Central Auditory Processing Disorder" (CAPD.)

My mother struggled my entire childhood trying to find out what was "wrong" with my ears frequently having them tested over and over again convinced that I was hard of hearing. I was not diagnoses with CAPD until I was 22 and going to college for Deaf Ed. & Theater and learned about it for the first time. I had all of the symptoms my entire life except for one -- poor school grades. When I was diagnosed, I instantly understood why the Deaf world and Hard of Hearing world is more comfortable for me than the Hearing world.

This disorder makes a hearing person more like a hard of hearing or deaf person, because even though we hear everything, we can't always understand it.

Professionals have described it in different ways. -- Some have compared it to dyslexia of the ears; other use an analogy to explain what is happening saying, "Image if you lived in Shakespeare's time. You can hear everything that is told to you, but imagine how difficult it is to understand it." I find all of these explanations add to the MISunderstandings of what CAPD is and how it works. The best way to describe it is: sounds collide in my brain and make new sounds instead of the sounds that are actually there. So the more noise there is around me, the less likely I am to understand what I am hearing.

Although culturally I live more as a Hard of Hearing person, I do not like to label myself as Hard of Hearing, only because it adds to ignorance about what this disorder is and how it works.

Some of the symptoms of CAPD are: frequent, severe, or persevering ear infections at a young age; poor reading &/ spelling skills with phonetically-based languages; speech problems; difficulty understanding speech; and poor school grades.

If you suspect someone you know or you yourself might have this, most audiologists do have the equipment to test for it. However, I urge you to educate yourself on it before you get tested, because it was my sad experience that most professionals misunderstand the disorder too!

2.) The Dramatic Arts:

As cheesy as this sounds, I fell in love with acting in Kindergarten and this love later grew to include all the different facets and types of the dramatic arts which explains why I have a B.A. in Theater.

And last, but not at all least,

3.) Traditional Catholicism:

I love learning about other cultures & religions, but despite this & being born after Vatican Council II, I was raised Traditional Catholic and identified with it at a very age! I am Catholic, but my identity & calling to the Traditional (or Pre-Vatican II) Sacraments, Rites, & Way of Life is equally as strong as my Catholic Identity.

That's me in a nut shell, but not necessarily in order of importance.

Hope you enjoy my channel. :o)
