Last night, I was hanging out with 2 of my neighbors, my hearing husband and deaf brother. One of my neighbors said somthing to me and I didnt catch it first so he said "Nevermind." I told him, "No, pls repeat what you said..I will make you repeat until I understand you, understand?" We all laughed so he repeated himself and I was able to understand what he said and we were able to proceed with the conversation. I used to be so passive about accepting those "Neverminds" or "I will tell you laters" but not anymore and so far it has been working. Even if the hearing person gets frustrated, I wont let up. I will get them to repeat themselves until they are exhausted!
