TaciturnPhantom

I'm a very shy and quiet person. I have severe sensori-neural hearing loss in both ears and I have to wear two hearing aids. Sensori-neural hearing loss is when your cochlear(s) are damaged and/or the hair cells in the cochlear(s) are damaged. I may have to have surgery to wear cochlear implants in the future.

I like order and routine; the dark and quietness; playing the drums (I take out my hearing aids when I play); studying Nazi Germany, dinosaurs and infectious diseases; the colour black (black is my favourite colour). I dislike crowds; disorder and chaos; bright colours and loud sounds (they hurt me); being touched; skin contact (this hurts me too); eye contact and tall buildings/structures.

I started writing before I began to speak as a way of expressing myself. I didn't speak until I was five years old. My parents have told me that I did speak but it was only to recite the names of dinosaur species. I never made sounds if I laughed either. I only smiled.

I might take up poetry for a challenge but I have very low confidence in writing poetry. I'm currently working on a novel revolving around a deaf character in a zombie apocalypse. I hope to finish it by the end of this year and maybe even get it published!
