Its not only the ear :(
Yes, its not only the ear that is a problem.
I was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, that is a brittle bone disorder (Remember Samuel Jackson in Unbreakable..well I was the mildest milder version of his though). I suffered terrible bone fractures as a kid, once I had fractured my femur while sleeping...Life was tough as a kid.
I wonder how my middle class parents must have afforded the umpteen falls, hospital bills, doctor visits, and the never ending cycle. I had once counted that I have fractured my bones - both the femurs - a total of nine times. I have been operated like five times. And so, most of my childhood was bed ridden.
I have had my share of good moments. Some bad traits that I have right now, I do blame it on the childhood. Thinking my bed riddenness instilled those in me. But I always dreamt of a good bright future. I somehow can hope, I have the faith to never lose hope.
The orthopaedic surgeon of mine had once informed my parents that I may suffer from hearing problems at a later stage of my life. But I realized that only once I suffered the initial loss.
Also, I am left with a slight limp in my walk. Once, my fractured femur healed with a slight curve. So that left my left leg being a little shorter than the right one. So, a gait that tilts me to the left. Slightly.
And, the short stature of mine makes the appearance look funny. I am like 4'9. Yes, rain falls on me much later than everybody else.
I got a weird nose, and there is a little mole on it too on the side. Though it looked pretty at the start, now I have started to think otherwise. I have frizzy hair, and some of them are so curly at the weird ends.
You ask, why all this? Well, I saw an episode on glee wherein they have to announce one thing that they hate about themselves, and have yet overcome it.
I wonder what mine is?
Height? Bones? Ear? Nose? Hair? Weight??
