You looking at startups? I’ve seen a few started by people who turned their deafness or blindness into a new idea / product.

I've had one idea in mind for a few years now. It's outside of my normal skill set so it's risky to pursue at the moment. But maybe I should start putting a little time into it even if it's just to help recharge my batteries somewhat.

No risk no reward. Might be an energizing challenge for you.
