If you are a hearing person, imagine that you had been born deaf. In what ways do you think your life would be different?

I think my life would be completely different because my focus and things mainly depend on listening to music and without the ability to hear I wouldn't be able to listen to music. I also wouldn't be able to give myself a heads up when there's something dangerous near. For example, if I was deaf I wouldn't be able to hear someone scream out for a car coming at me.
My life would be very different if I were born deaf. I would have to learn sign language and how to read lips. I would and people around me would have to adjust their lives to make mine easier.
If I was born deaf everything in my life would change. I would depend more on my sense of sight and touch to get me through everyday life. Playing sports would be hard to learn and listen to my coaches because I would have to find a new way to communicate with them. I would also probably be at a different school to help
If I had been born deaf, I would not speak English but instead communicate through sign language. I would either be in regular school with a translator or in a special school for the deaf. I would not be able to drive due to the inability to hear sirens or on-coming traffic.
I think my sense of sight and touch would be heightened. I also think I would interpret tv shows differently because I would only be able to read the subtitles.
