    Hi all, I'm HoH, so when I tell people that I am heard of hearing, I like to add some humor to it to show that I'm confident with my "disability". Anyone have any good witty one-liners or jokes that they use to ease the topic of discussion?

    When you talk, can you hear your voice?

    I'm confused by some of the things I'm reading in this forum. I have read that some of you can not hear your voice when you talk. What is meant by this? I am HoH and when I talk, I can hear my voice. Is this not the same thing as what the "normal" person hears when I talk to them?
