[QUOTE="Lysander, post: 2518506, member: 83322"] Yes. This is totally what I'm trying to convey. Hearing people have this idea of a binary system. Where you are either 100% hearing or 100% deaf. No one explains to us that there's a spectrum. We get this idea from early on that hearing is either something you have or don't. It seems obvious to those that have different levels of hearing that it would be a spectrum, but to hearing people who have no point of reference from someone they know they don't get that. And like I said, we tend to use these euphemisms instead of actually calling it what it is. [/QUOTE]
