British Toddler (Who am I for Investigating?)

I was lived in England after I moved to Canada in Toronto, Ontario. 

Last April 2nd, 1967, my parent and I moved to Canada in Toronto, Ontario at Airport Station and arrived at the ground when I was 2 years old from Meadfield Road, Langley, England that where we lived in Fish and Chip Shop above apartment but I had no hearing aid before 2 years old.

My late Great Uncle took picture of us 

1. When I got my FIRST hearing aid body and my FIRST hearing aid behind my ear?

When I was ten months old and my parent were still in England I had my hearing tested and they said it was fine, but had my tested every six months after that, still in England.

2. Last tested in England was just before we came to Canada last April 2nd, 1967.

We had my hearing tested by Doctor Goodwin in Gravenhurst, Ontario before middle of April, 1967.

3. When I was 2 years old with my Mum also her pregnancy was a month from my youngest sister Sandra after born in Bracebridge, Ontario.

The Doctor sent my parent and I went to my FIRST SICK CHILDREN HOSPITAL in Toronto, Ontario before I was 3 years old in the Summer 1967 since 14 years old.
I had another hearing aid body before I had my hearing aid behind my ear since 14 years old to the future but my Mum do not remember what year that was.

I had hearing aid and behind my ear when I was 14 years old in Bracebridge, Ontario and to the future.
When I was 2 and half years old my FIRST started wore hearing aid body and since 14 years old.

What happened when I was born to 2 years old without hearing aid body?

I had my FIRST  hearing aid body when I was were 2 and half years old from born to 2 and half years old that I had NO HEARING AID because the Doctor Kept telling them I were NOT DEAF.

MY COMMENTS: I should have immediately about learning sign language when I was 3 years old in the Summer 1967 also my parent should have too from my late friend Alldyn Clark.

Last September 1970 I should live in Junior Girl's Residence for a year then should transfer to my Aunt and Uncle live there until early 1980 also they should learning sign language then in late 1980 transfer Senior Girl's Residence until my graduated.

I felt that I do not belong Bracebridge Public School in Bracebridge, Ontario because I can vision all the students are the hearing peoples instead hard of hearing/deaf and sign language as well but I had temporary for special class 2 years. 

My Life Hearing Aid

When I was 3 years old and 12 years old I had my hearing aid body that my Mum had to sew the pocket on left or right side each shirts, blouses, dresses and sweaters for 10 years.

She did it all the works for me and thank you. 

                   Both are 3 years old 

               Both are 12 years old 

Until when I was 13 years old changed to behind my left ear from hearing aid.

Then last February, 2019 went to hearing test at Costco and I became hearing loss to now and the future as well.
