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!

My goodness, I have several deaf/hard of hearing/whatever friends and they don't ever seem to mind. People are entirely too worried about political correctness these days.

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 guess it's actually quite hard for other people to know how to refer to a HoH person in a way that doesn't offend them. Forgetting PC for a minute, I bet a lot of people are just plain worried that they'll say the wrong thing. Nice blog you have here, mind if I link to you from my site? Cheers, Steve.
