Usher and me

I was 4 when I got my hearing aids after being told that a bone in my ears were shattered so noises weren't going through it, fast forward til I was 13, bought my first computer and my parents notices that I'm squinting at screen so they've decided i should get an eye test since I was 13 til I was 18, i was told i have had dust behind my eyes that laser surgery could remove it then at 18 I was told "you have usher syndrome type 2" i did not know what it was so went home googling and researching about the condition, being depressed and denying it for 3 years then i met some amazing people and support of my family helped me deal with the news and be open and acceptance of it.....
