I can talk. I may sound terrible under stressful conditions or sometime when the moon is funny and my kidneys makes me hear funny, I'd rather not talk. My problem is: I don't know Sign language. Seems like the hearing world tells you to either speak/hear or watch/ASL. I'm caught between the two worlds. I probably fall into the foreign language category and tell them a have a language barrier. Writing on paper would be my solution.
