Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're talking about here, Jillio. I think you're either not remembering the scene correctly, or misinterpreting my words. Nobody was making fun of the HoH director in the scene; he was the one acting like a buffoon and being rude to the hearing director, and it was a result of his hearing loss (he mishears the hearing director and thinks he's being asked for coffee, so he rudely asks for two sugars and cream; doesn't hear his phone ringing and when the hearing director mentions it to him he snaps, "I have it set to vibrate," and then at the end of the conversation he looks at his phone and says, "Oh damn I missed four calls."). So yes, the show was making fun of him in a way, but it was occurring outside the scene, outside the bounds of the show. It was not meant to be a social commentary, or raise awareness.
That scene was most certainly intended to elicit humor based on the actions of the HoH director. Watch it again.
As for having a bias, no I don't have a bias. Please don't make insinuations. Perhaps I do look at these things from a different perspective based on the fact that I am HoH. I misinterpret people's words day in and day out, but I can assure you I am not a jackass buffoon like how that HoH director was portrayed, nor are any d/Deaf/HoH people I know. We are not oblivious to the effects of our hearing loss, and we have all developed coping mechanisms for interacting with the hearing world.
