The Quest for New Hearing Aids

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQctgRLw0e0&feature=youtu.be

Hello, any and all who see and consider this. A brief introduction. I am a writer, actor, martial artist, all these combined in a unified effort to touch the world with art. The link above is to a short martial arts film I wrote and acted in, submitted here as a sample not only of my work, but of my passion.
The point though of this campaign is not to fund a creative endeavor, but rather to help me restore some quality of life. Alas, I fit the archetype of a struggling artist so well that you'd be forgiven for thinking that I wrote that too.
I've been progressively deaf for the entirety of my life, my hearing getting worse and worse as time goes on, but I've always been able to function and communicate with the help of technology. One way or another, there's always been some venue in place for replacements and upgrades. So I have never in my life had to experience the world with the sound off for too long.
That sense of security and foundation is now gone entirely. The obsolete hearing aids that I have now unfortunately have met their end. Unfixable, and forever dead. I am without sound entirely for the first time in my life, and am not making money yet with my work so I've no means to replace them.
That, friends, is the point of this campaign.
It cannot be expressed in mere words how incredibly lonely, frustrating, and near impossible it is to walk around this way. I believe in my work, but the money is not there yet. Takes time, that. But I dread the possibility of having to endure that entire time in this condition, so on the promp of a good and lovely friend, I decided to create this account and see what happens. Thank you all for reading. Any donations to the cause will be greatly appreciated.

With gratitude,
