I hate stupid questions but I have 2 that are just annoying.

1. If your deaf can you read?
2. Can you drive?
3. How can you listen to music or dance?

Like really. Do people not pick up books or Google at least anything before asking a question. I know people say no question is a dumb question but I disagree.

There are levels of deafness. Yes I'm deaf but I can hear loud music with my head phones and no it's not 100% clear but I can hear something. Yes I can drive it's my ears that have a problem Not my eyes, hands, or feet. And again yes I can read my eyes are just fine.

And it's irritated that some people who ask these are related to me and know I drive and I am a straight A student and know I dance and teach dance.

I'm completely, 100% deaf in both ears, but all the time I get,

"can you hear the TV ok?"

me: "no . . ."

*turns it up*

"what about now?"

me: " . . ."

I've never had any strange questions, only statements like, "you're too young to be deaf (well, that was when I was too young to be deaf) and gee, "you'd never know you were deaf, you do so well". Those aren't bothersome statements 'though.

I tell people go watch and listen to Evelyn Glennie they get good idea how deaf listen to music and understanding dynamics of it more than hearing person.

You could had said "Yes you're blind" and ask it you could touch her to see what she 'looked like' :naughty: I had a blind client and I was helping her get up and she held onto my arm and said " Oh you're a little thing".
 
This girl I met on the train said someone commented " I didn't know there were deaf black people". I didn't no deafness was a ethnic thing.

" You don't seem hard of hearing"

and in the case of my learning disability-
"but you seem smart"

ohh.- messed up, sorry - the question part I missed.
don't at moment recall any what I thought was dumb questions they ask me..usually the response is the first one above
 
Some things people say make me happy I'm deaf so it's easier to ignore.
