Well, it would have helped me to understand why people looked at me like I was a freak growing up when they met me for the first time. I was told constantly that my speech was very good by my teachers, family and etc and that I must be so special. Well, when I tried talking to strangers, I get funny faces made at me. As a kid, that was very confusing. It made me not want to use my voice with anyone else in the later years. Working so hard with my speech skills and making sacrifices all those years only to end up not being able to fit in the hearing world no matter how hard I tried was a waste of time.
Somewhere along the line people make their decision on how they want to use their voice and decide if it still beneficial to do so.
