I can hear without them but obviously not well When I was a nanny and the little kid would throw tantrums or scream to try to get my attention, I would look at her, and say, "Your screaming/whining is hurting my hearing aids, so I am taking them out.

    Is There A Good Way To Respond As A Hearing Person When Someone Tells You They Are D/deaf?

    It really depends on the circumstance at which I tell them, really...some reactions such as "Oh, sorry, I'll speak louder" or "Oh, that's cool (like, no worries), I'll try and speak up" is perfect for me depending on where I am and what I am doing

    The only time my mother ever spanked us was when we very, very young and were doing something dangerous like running into the street or letting go of her hand and running away in a busy parking lot. My mom said it only took one time for us to know not to do that ever again
