Ahh...then apparently such comment was worded wrong. 
"....But, being deaf/hoh is for someone else, not you, to understand." could be worded like this: '..But, being deaf/hoh is for someone else, not you, to be able to experience firsthand, it's impossible.'
Also...pssttt...as I recall, you have mentioned to someone once before not to be called/named petey...hmm...and now you're calling me 'Roady'.... 
Tsk tsk--
