Hello, I a hoh person(moderate-to-severe). I wear hearing aids in both ears, full time. I wnt to put subtitles up when I'm watching telly, but my older sister and mum say I'm just a lazy listener and if I actually try to listen, I will.
Who knows how YOU feel?
ONLY YOU!!!
Smash this little fists of yours on the table, and say with all your power
that from now on you don't take crap from nobody
and
the SUBTITLES stay ALWAYS on!!!!!
Sweetie, your hearing impairment is more important than anything else in your family.
not only your family is dead wrong,
you have
all the rights to
demand that the whole life accommodate around you hearing better!
This include not only CC to be turned on TV but also- lights on the door bell, lights on the phone, light or shaker on the alarm clock and so on.
Don't you ever doubt yourself and your hearing needs ever again!
NOBODY, BUT NOBODY IS TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO!!!
Only you live the life of a hearing impaired person and only you decide what you are capable of, or not capable.
Even if you WOULD hear but you DON'T want to - prefer to read indeed of laziness - IT'S YOUR OWN BUSINESS, NOBODY DAMN ELSE!!
Remember that!
In short - grow a pair, sweetie
I demand CC not only in my own house turned on at all times, I demand we do not watch anything when I am present that does not have CC.
If there is something that is very interesting but has no CC when I want to watch TV - TOO BAD!!! let them tape it.
(unless I am not that interested in watching the telly).
Not only that, if I am visiting my friends and we are watching TV I demand the CC is turned on or I will go home, period.
Why should I be invited, make an effort to come and then sit bored out of my mind?
heII, NO!
