you don't have to yell...
If you don’t already know, I am severely hearing impaired, almost deaf - but not deaf enough for cochlear implants, my hearing aides are pretty rad but when those bad girls are out… honestly, forget talking to me and no, I do not know sign language.
In brief, I think hearing folks should know something, you don’t have to yell. Yelling and/or raising your voice around a hearing impaired person does not help, nada- none whatsoever because it’s not about volume, its tone, frequency, pitch those variable are what allows one to understand what someone is saying and not just hearing. For instance, I can still hear you when you’re talking to me but its hard for me to distinguish what you’re saying, especially if I never heard you speak before.
OK funny story - I was driving down the road going through the radio station and came across this really great song, sick beat right? So I waited until the commercial to see if the Host mentioned the artist & song name again…well I was on the station for nearly an hour to realize, it was a Spanish station, and I wonder why I could never figure it out.
