    Any hard-of-hearing ppl raised in the hearing world?

    Actually, there are Deaf interpreters! :D I'm still planning on becoming an interpreter (or deafblind intervener) despite I'm functionally HoH. You can do it, I'm sure there are programs available for interpreting from the deaf...actually the head professor for interpreting at my college is...
