I know I wouldn't get any of it, and I don't go out much anyways so when I do go somewhere if it's urgent yes I'd be okay with writing things down. I don't worry about salons or the market or even bowling since we have deaf friendly ones here. At the bowling alley I go to they all know ASL since there is a deaf leave there.
At my salon there is also a worker who made it mandatory for them to know asl. As well as the market near me.
The police thing I do understand. I read a article of a deaf man being shot. But in my mind I would stay in the car hands on wheel, if the police asks something I would have something stating that 'I Am Deaf' I would point to where it at so the officer would now I'm getting something and show it to them.
Even though you didn't mention music I know that I won't hear it, but I can feel it.
Plus as I said, when I said it I didn't mean that I was going to be deaf or try to be deaf. I was saying an opinion. Its not like I say I want to be and I magically become deaf. I have thought being deaf through in the past. But again it's not like i am gonna force myself to be deaf.
