I am a CODA; I have a deaf brother named Colin and he is 48 years old.

At home, everyone is bilingual, using BSL and spoken language.

I have social services where I live, they are great support and give me confidence.

I grew up wearing hearing aids then around the age of 23, chose to have cochlear implants.

My children would often be flashing the hallway lights to get my attention.

My hearing children go to the local deaf club, it is part of their community.

Technology has taken over our lives, looking back I have fond memories of going to deaf clubs.

When I was young, when the streetlights came on, it meant it was time to go home.

My childhood was strongly around living with my grandparents, I have learnt so much from them.

My best friend, he is hearing and learnt BSL because of me. Now he is a BSL/English Interpreter.

I am deaf, my wife and our 2 children are hearing – our main form of communication at home is BSL.

I often leave the water running in the bathroom or the fridge door open, my family then remind me to sort them out!
