That might be true, but it is funny. The movie people say to me more is "Children of a Lesser God". Wow, am I sick of hearing about that movie.
Yep, I do. But sometimes the person acting like an idiot is just an idiot. There are weird, funny, obnoxious, stupid hearing people and weird, funny, obnoxious stupid deaf or HoH people. I usually find folks friendly and funny. Or at least I chose to see them this way (who knows what they are actually saying? This is one big advantage to not understanding everything all the time 
.
About asking someone how much they can hear, I kind of hate that question. It's not offensive, but I don't know how to answer that. I'm not sure what others hear and what I am missing. "Less than you"? "Almost nothing, according to my audiologist"? "It depends on how interesting what is being said"? The conversation is OK or it is not, and everyone can see that. We just work it out (or not) as best we can.
No offense taken, but I'm hard to offend.
