I'M NOT FAKING IT!
Aug 04, 2025One thing I really hate...is when hearing people assume I am faking being Deaf because I heard something.
Sigh....
Yes, I can hear loud noises. Most people with hearing aids can hear them just depends on how loud, and how close it is to me.
Many people will think I don't need any accommodations because I could hear someone talking or understood a few words. NOOOO!
I still need access to the information going on around me. Hearing people can get information passively, I can't. I have to be engaged in a conversation or read an article about a topic to understand what's happening. If I can't understand someone's speech, I won't get it. This is why ASL interpreters are so helpful and NEEDED! Lip reading only gives us 30% of the information AT BEST!
I really am Deaf.
