From the world of silence to the world of IT: Against all odds

This book was born out of my heart's desires. I've decided to tell my own story - the story of a man who has been dealing with bilateral hearing loss since the age of two. But, despite this and against all odds, he's marched on, finding his own place in society and in the IT industry. Among the stories and reflections in this book you will find pieces of advice for deaf people and their parents. I hope that my book will encourage you, improve your self-belief and show that you should never give up in your fight for a better quality of life. I am a university graduate. At the age of two, I fell ill with the mumps, which resulted in bilateral hearing loss (85dB). I work in the IT industry, which is my passion. I am successfully fulfilling my ambition in several areas of testing and automation, especially in DevOps. I come from the charming Kotlina Klodzka and a love of nature is in my blood. That is why I spend every spare moment on a mountain trail by a lake, close to a wooden holiday house. I like to sit in silence and indulge in the beauty of nature. I am a fan of excursions to far-away and not-so-far-away places, cycling and all sport activities.
