Rhys likes to read, he likes to play sports, go to parties, chase after girls. He's your typical everyday 19 year old Freshman. Wait. I'm lying, he's not. Rhys is going deaf. He started showing signs of Ménière's disease when he was 16, first being overcome with bouts of dizzy spells, then temporary deafness in each of his ears. When his parents took him to the doctor he was soon diagnosed with the disease. He tried to live with it in secret, keeping it from his friends as best as he could by reading lips to understand what they were saying, but even that got hard and eventually he got hearing aides. How long they will aid him? Only time would tell. He knew that eventually he'd be fully deaf. He left his high school and his parents enrolled him into a school for the deaf. They all had to learn American Sign Language (ASL) to help Rhys better adapt to his new disability. Now it was time for college. How will he fare in the big bad world with ears that were failing him more and more as the days pass.
