Especially if you are not wearing your hearing aids ;)

Life is loud ;)

People just want to be heard ;)

I wish people had subtitles. But with my luck, the subtitles will be around chest level and get me in trouble with busty ladies ;)

Maybe I should just yell back, "I CAN'T HEAR THE WORDS COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!" ;)

I wish people would use sign language but with my luck they would only sign the same thing they do when they are on the freeway ;)

People are very patient with most disabled persons.

"Oh, you're blind! Let me help you cross the street."

"Oh, you're on a wheel chair! Let me get that thing on the top shelf for you."

People are not so patient with deaf people.

"DID YOU NOT HEAR THE..."

And I'm like, "Bitch, do you know who you're talking to? When have I heard anything? EVER?" On the inside. On the outside I'm like, "Oh, I'm deaf! Here, let me put my hearing aids in." ;)

Sorry, I didn't know you were practically deaf. IS THIS BETTER?? ;D
