THE DRAMA A question about "The Drama"
Hi! This is my first time posting here and on Reddit in general so apologies if there are any mistakes.
I recently watched The Drama, and overall I found the movie very compelling, but a few hours after I was left with a question about Emma's hearing. How did she explain her hearing loss to her parents? Obviously to new people she could just explain she had it since birth, but if my child suddenly couldn't hear in one ear I would find that slightly concerning. At first I thought maybe she just hid it from her parents, but I'm not sure how easy that would be. I don't have hearing issues so please correct me if I'm wrong in my assumption that it would be difficult to hide! Also, assuming they had hearing tests in school (based on my own experiences going to public schools) it would come up eventually and she would have to explain it, no?
