Thought I would start a thread about positive ways that hearing people changed because of knowing us.
I have had many friends (AND their parents too) tell me that because of me, they learned to stop mumbling and to improve eye contact with people. One guy I dated made me laugh when he said he was so used to waiting till I was looking at him before he spoke that he expected the same of the hearing. I.E. if he was in a restaurant getting takeout and they turned around while he was still talking, he would stop until they looked at him again.
