Nyle DiMarco: I've 'never wanted to hear'

Nyle DiMarco says he's happy with who he is and does not wish he could hear. The deaf Dancing With the Stars contestant tells People Magazine:
"'I've never wanted to hear, because that's never existed in my life. I'm happy... If I'd been born into a hearing family and went to a public school, I would have probably felt much more isolated, and being deaf would have become my identity," says DiMarco, who vlogs about his DWTS experience exclusively for PEOPLE. "Since I knew my deaf identity since birth, it wasn't hard for me to be comfortable, confident and independent in a hearing world."
