Yeah, that's is just so annoying, wasn't it? But I was glad when a young woman, were talking to me in relation of some work, I told her that I was deaf, she didn't walk away, she went over to my desk and found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote what she was asking me earlier and the end it went smoothly.

Actually, Jake, there has been some research done by insurance companies that supports exactly that. Deaf drivers are more attentive visually and have better eye/hand/foot coordination than hearing drivers, and have fewer accidents as a result. After all, we drive using our eyes, hands, and feet...not our ears.
