I have had something bugging me for years and wanted to get an opinion on it. i was born deaf in one ear as a child i couldn't hear and had to read lips. I had a horrible speech impediment due to it. The hearing grew in it was the synapses in the brain and not the ear itself anyhow. being deaf and reading lips i know as an adult have an issue with what is considered a normal vocal volume. i talk softly as people say. this has not been a huge issue I have even acted and sang with no concerns. but years ago i was told it would be a hindrance on getting a higher level job because i cant be heard. this was straight out told to me when i advised of the reason was told oh well get over it. like this is something that would be so easy to do. is this discrimination i am not technically deaf now. it still hinders me at work and I have stayed there for years after this incident and now is the only time I have talked about it. I have people saying oh i cant hear him i don't know hes too quiet and so on. i work hard and i know more than anyone why should this one small thing hinder my progression. this is very disheartening and has been bugging me for years.
thank you for your time. i don't know if anyone can understand this situation.
