Funny part is a lot of people won't say anything to my face. Hint the name Baldgorilla. I am 6'2" 215 pounds with the arms and shoulders of a gorilla. I have to wait and see what they are saying when they think I can't hear them. Not knowing I can read lips very far away. Then When I walk back...

How about this? When someone you need to talk to see your hearing aids and you can tell they are talking so loud that the floors and glass are shaking. What really blows their minds is when I tell them that they are talking too loud.

In the 35 plus years that I have been hard of hearing or deaf. I have been reading lips all my life. There is a little something that you should know. When you're reading someone's lips and they start to get nervous and they don't know you. Tell them that your are reading their lips and the...

Is there anyway to hook your cell phone up to a bed shaker or light flasher? Where I live there is no land line near here.
