[QUOTE="herewego, post: 1461369, member: 35114"] [b]Honestly[/b] What amazes me is what some people do trying to get deaf or hoh people's attention. Seems to me that what is rude in hearing culture would be likewise be rude in deaf are hard of hearing. Probably because we are all humans, anyway don't wave your hands at people like are signing a plane. Don't tap them on the head, this seems like common sense. Also hard of hearing people, theirs no reason to at first glance assume they can't normal speaking so just yell it. I work with the elderly people and I must say those with hearing aids I speak normal with just a bit more mids and works great. If the person is really profoundly hard of hearing than at that point speak loud, but don't yell just speak loud. [/QUOTE]
