A long time ago, my deaf friend's speech was so good because he spent more time with his hearing family and his hearing friends. He got older and found a permanent job, and he has been working for a company for 15 years. His speech declined, and most hearing people didn't understand him at all. I am not sure about his employees. His old friends understand him, and I couldn't figure it out how they really can understand him. My other two hearing friends told me that his voice is almost like a soft duck. I didn't want to say anything about it. It just pissed me off how his friends understood him like that. That's impossible!
For my family, I just get to used it. Some of them tell me what was going on. Then, you know, they keep talking something else. They forgot to tell me again. My father is a "terrible interpreter" because he didn't tell me the whole story especially some gossips were not in the conversation. Do you have the same thing with your father?
When I finished my college degree, an agent from a company called my mother on the phone, but we were not at home, and my father answered it very short and plain conversation. That's it. I found out that the company wanted to know more about me before I get a job. It was a bad luck that he was on the phone. My mother would be the best so that the company would have hired me quickly. I can't figure it out what was the problem with my father. I didn't get the best job. Now, I have my own email and a videophone so that they would ask me any questions. I guess that many companies are not interested in hiring deaf people unless it's the last resort.
