sometimes that is a problem. I often have to refer myself as deaf instead of hard of hearing because people tend to treat me as a hearing person. Like expecting me to call them or face away from me.
another reason is that some people laugh at the way you sound. For me, they ask me where I come from because my accent is weird.
