I had that happen . I had a DR. that has an accent and I was having trouble understanding him so he lean over and talk right into my HA as it was telephone so something. I was like WTF!! How could a Dr. do something so dumb.

#'s 9 and 10 have happened a lot to me over the years. I've always passed it off as ignorance on their part. If I could add one to that list it would be when a person who obviously hadn't had much interaction with a deaf person before talks really slow and over-enunciates. That really gets my blood boiling and I quickly correct them on that. I never mean to embarrass that person but at the same time, don't treat me like an idiot.
