No one has ever told me that I'm daft or stupid, but I do know that in some situations people choose not to sit next to me or include me in difficult social settings. People tend to take the easy road when they have a chance.

The conversation about daft or stupid relates more to an 'inside feeling' than to a reality. We are not daft or stupid but, in some situations, we may present that way from other people's viewpoint. As a group, people with hearing loss are just as intelligent as others are.
