You could also let him know directly that it bothered you. How about playing it up as "if the wrong person overhears, your tone could be misconstrued as discriminatory and a complaint filed" That way you're not accusing him of anything, but stressing the inappropriateness of the comment. Most people don't realize how stupid they're being. I had a professor last semester who was incredibly inappropriate with my use of a FM system. She was constantly saying "Can you hear me?" (like a Verizon commercial!) and announced to the class on the first day that she needed to wear a "special microphone" for me! She announced my name to the class! I repeatedly told her to please stop and that I'd let her know if I needed help, but it got to be too much hassle. I reported her to the office of disabilities on campus and the director wasn't thrilled. I dropped the class and I'm using interpreters this semester - MUCH easier!
