Hello Im currently in my 4th semester in college, I started to lose my hearing about 5 years ago due to hearing infections/fireworks incident....hearing loss... Anyway, this week is our finals for my english class, we have to make a 10 minute presentation on various topics of business writing and management skills. We also also had to do a 4 page essay on it, which we turned in last week. But the problem is, I'm fourth in line to do the presentation, which is tomorrow. Also, at the end of the presentation, we have to ask for questions!
To make it worse, my prof is giving extra credit points to students who ask a question, so I'll be bombarded by at least 15 classmates asking Q's, yes they all want the extra-credit. I really want to avoid this because I can't hear, I mean I couldn't even hear what the presenters from last class were saying lol.
Oh I forgot, I have inner ear hearing aids but I hardly use them...I just dont like the way they sound...and I didn't think it was a big deal because the ENG class is writing intesive, which means we sit in the computer lab all day writing essays, we hardly communicate. Because of this, I didn't tell my teacher Im hard of hearing, which was really stupid of me...I regret that. And I don't want to piss her off at the last week of class telling her Im hard of hearing.
Is there anyway I could avoid making a presentation in front of a class of 30?? Or should I just cut class and hope I pass with a C???
Thanks..
