At first it was the little things hearing people take for granted. Then the 17-year-old volunteer firefighter realised she couldn't hear V8s driving past her.

It was the catalyst for her transition into the Deaf community, which is generally understood as comprising people who are deaf from birth or an early age, use Australian Sign Language , are children of deaf adults and/or who live and work with deaf people, according to Aussie Deaf Kids.Her younger brother decided to go on the journey with her."He has just memorised everything I've taught him.

"At my old school I had a note taker and she was very, very helpful. But I was living through her — anything that was said, if she missed it, or if she interpreted it wrong, I would miss it completely," Brielle says.To shed this anxiety meant Brielle could focus on learning AUSLAN and how to lipread, and consider which parts of her were no more, and which would remain as a profoundly deaf young person.

Brielle started training to join the local brigade last year, but as her hearing continued to fade it fell by the wayside.Brielle says her father was "smiling from ear to ear" when he found out she wanted to continue learning how to fight fires.

Already some on the left are 'cancelling' Kamala Harris - and that could re-elect TrumpShe could be the US vice-president in less than 90 days, but snipers from the left have been among the first to attack her. My theory is the left have put forward the worst 2 possible candidates, so that when they win they can “humiliate” Trump. Problem for them is if they win, Americans will figure out the only reason is demographics and that the democrats are traitors needing justice.
