🧵 Oh yeah today is National Microtia Awareness Day! It’s what I was born with (grade 3). That means I was born without an outer ear and have single-sided deafness. So for most of my life, I couldn’t hear in stereo, and had no concept of what that even sounded like.
Here’s where you can make yourself more aware:
