This isn't something I think about as a rule... but I do know how I hate to be startled like that. Not good for the system -- or the walls! Yum... can taste the lasagna from here. Barb Thank you!

It took me awhile to get used to that about them and learn how loud I need to talk around them, have my lips visible to them so if needed, they can lip read, etc. The words in the article are good to know.

It happened when I was older and I have no change for a CI or aids. I am a member of the Deaf community and am trying to become fluent but don't think I ever will be. It ticks me off when the Deaf call me hard of hearing when I am deafer than some of them but what can I do . I think hearing impaired is a medical term but I introduce myself as deaf because lets face it I am as deaf as a post. lol I have 120 decibel loss in both ears and call my deaf.

I though i had some hearing problem but to go and get results stating the facts i really hurt me i hve missed time out of school because of this .i haven't talked to any of my teachers about this because again im embarassed of what they might think of me. i feel much better just walking around without them but even that hurts to i always avoid making friends or having a conversation with anyone because i dont want people to laugh at me. i have experienced what people will do or say even when i didn't have them so to wear them will make things worse hi vikki my named is india and i have recently been informed that i have a mixed hearing loss i’m embarassed that i have to walk around with two hearing aids at the age of twenty.

Sometimes it is hard to laugh it off all the time, especially when people get angry at your misinterpretation. Anywho, I am doing a research paper on how hearing loss affects grammar. I am partially deaf and I believe that some of my repetitive grammar mistakes are because of my hearing loss. I was hoping you could tell me your opinion on the subject. Email me if you can! Thanks!
