I have always been told that first impression is truly important.

What is the first impression you get when a person "suddenly" finds out that you are deaf?

Me? I get various response from various people.

Many are like "Oh?" and get the Deer stuck in the headlight look. ( a long pause) Then start talking again.

Some are light, Oh cool!

I have some literally shut down and walk away.
