Mixed Up Maxie being me! 2nd Revision july

Mixed up Maxi being me! This book is about me being deaf and daft and how I coped growing up and living with deafness. I put pen to paper and started to write Mixed up Maxi because for far too long deaf people have not been given a fair hearing literally and figuratively speaking. It all came to a head after the soap opera; EastEnders created the character Ben Mitchell who is the deaf son of Phil Mitchell. Ben doesn't display a single aspect of deafness. I don't know if the actor is actually deaf or if EastEnders just portrayed Ben as deaf and I use the word portrayed very lightly. Since Ben arrived in EastEnders with his National Health blue hearing aid not once have I heard* him say pardon? what did you say? or come again? it gives the impression that hearing aids cure deafness and this is far from true.
