What are some good one-liners or humor to use when mentioning my hearing issues?

skunker · 07-01-2012, 01:24 PM

Hi all,
I'm HoH, so when I tell people that I am heard of hearing, I like to add some humor to it to show that I'm confident with my "disability".

Anyone have any good witty one-liners or jokes that they use to ease the topic of discussion?

How about making up something in a fake language while indicating that you're deaf via mime?
