Earlier this year, we were contacted by a ‘Deaf Yorkshire Mum’ seeking feedback on her new blog about her experiences as a person growing up with and living with deafness. Whether you’re a young person struggling with deafness or a parent of a deaf young person, we hope you find Holly’s honest and personal insights as helpful and interesting as we do!

“Hello everyone! I’m Holly, a 25 year old photographer from York and I am a bilateral hearing aid user with moderate/severe deafness. I have been going deaf since I was age 14 and have only just (in the last two years) begun to accept my hearing loss and feel confident wearing hearing aids out in public. I have decided to start a blog to write about my experiences and my journey into what I now class as ‘my deaf world’ in the hope others can relate and find some comfort knowing they are not alone in what can feel like a very isolating world.”


Blog posts to date
