[quote=webexplorer;938038]I assume that you are hard of hearing (hh).

Yes, I have a profound hearing loss. I was born with it. The biggest problem I have is this: When talking to people if you say "what?" one time, they begain to scream like idiots. They automatically assume that they must speak louder when really you just may have only missed a small part of what the speaker was saying. I can communicate easily with people who talk in a normal tone of voice, while looking at me, as opposed to someone rattling off like an auctioneer, with their fingers in thier mouth, looking everywhere but at you. I know you HH folks know what I'm talking about.
