My Story about having hearing aids

My name is Hopelilly. I am 9 years old. I was born on the December the 12th on 2006. I remember that I have to look carefully if people are talking so I can hear what they are saying. When I was little I just say anything to people because I don’t know what they’re saying. When I was little I started to go to hospital to test my ears. They put some yellow stuff in my ear and I can’t hear what they’re saying and then they test my ears. If 2 people are talking I have to ask them to talk one at a time because people talk at the same time, I can’t hear what they saying. It is hard. If one person talks, then easy but if 2 or more people talking then it's hard. I wear hearing aids for about 6 or 7 years. I don’t remember too much but I know my dad takes me to the doctors all the time. I’m happy to wear my hearing aids, they help me to hear better. Without the hearing aids, I can’t hear much, just a little bit. If I put my hand over my hearing aid, it makes a loud noise. I have a FM that goes with my hearing aids for the teacher or my buddy who works with me so I can hear what they saying. My brother Tapu helps me when I can’t hear my mum and dad at home. If Tapu is not at home then I got Paulo to help me. I have to wear my hearing aids all the time. If I don’t then I can’t hear. I have a friend who has a hearing aid who goes to another school. I meet other children who have hearing aids when we all go to the park. People don’t know that I have hearing aids but the doctor tells them to come and help me. So, don’t forget to help me when you see me. You have to talk one at a time
