Sometimes I don't talk, not as a matter of principle, but because most people can't register that I am both blind and hard of hearing when I talk. At first when I would explain verbally that I was deafblind and therefore needed to have them use the Braille card to communicate with me, they would just keep trying to talk to me. Now most of the time I just point to my ear and shake my head and then I show them my Braille card which has a short explanation of how to use it written directly on it.
