I’ve been thinking about sex.
For those with mucky minds I’ll rephrase that. I’ve been thinking about gender.
The majority of people with hearing problems that I’ve encountered at various places (Hearing Link, ENT, lipreading, even a lunch get-together of hearing impaired folk) have been mostly female. For example, at lipreading classes there were two men and eight women, and one chap dropped out. Which makes me wonder – do males ‘tough it out’ on their own, resolute that they can cope with the problems in life, whilst females do the sensible thing and seek ways of coping with those problems?
