Well, if it happens again, you'll need to be assertive and say something like "Excuse me, but please talk directly to me as I am the patient here. Yes, I'm deaf and use an interpreter, but it is me you need to direct your attention to."

It happened to me one time...and they were going to give me a shot. I said, "Nope. You were talking to HER not me. So SHE gets the shot!"
