Ive been labelled deaf and dumb, dumb, hearing impaired, and partially hearing impaired.
out of alll of these, I prefer deaf or hard of hearing.
when I think of hearing impaired I sort of imagine myself running around the yard flailing my arms like a goose like I can fully hear but otherwise impaired, lol.
Maybe one of these days the rest of the world will listen and finally get it that we prefer the deaf label in general as it is the least offensive to us as a whole. Although there will be some nitpicks that will want a specific term each of us.
