Hearing people also find the communication barrier to be very frustrating. I have a lot of residual hearing. I essentially function as a hearing person, albeit with difficulty. My wife, however, is deaf a rock. I will admit that even I get impatient sometimes with her, and I should know better. In the community where I live, the maintenance guy is deaf, and his boss is a colossal asshole who is addicted to crystal meth. Every time he asks his boss to repeat something, tweaker yells at him at the top of his lungs. I hope someday he gets a lawyer and takes the prick down a notch.
