A Key Moment in Sarah’s Life

One morning in 2001, as I waited for my lecture to start, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Looking
up, I found a young woman grinning at me, clutching a notebook. I realised immediately who
she was. The week before we had exchanged emails, and I’d told her I would be sitting in the
front row. I always sat at the front, even if it meant sitting by myself. To the other students I
probably seemed eager and studious. But the real reason was that I’m deaf and needed to
lipread the lecturer.

“I’m Rosie,” the young woman said, and I shuffled along to make room for her. I spotted her
hearing aids straight away. As we struck up a conversation, I remember feeling shy and
awkward. Rosie was the first person I’d ever met who was my age and wore hearing aids. I
have hereditary deafness, and my mother and aunts are also deaf, so hearing aids have
been a feature of my life since I was given my first pair as a toddler.

Sitting with us was our notetaker. This was why Rosie and I had been in touch. Although we
studied different subjects, we shared a statistics class, so the university asked us to share a
notetaker. At the time, it had felt like an attempt to economise on my request for access
provision, but I soon became grateful for the suggestion.

I’d grown up thinking that my deafness was some kind of flaw, but here was Rosie, who was
clever, wise, full of fun – and deaf.
