Sometimes that can be a challange when you refuse to take the perpsective of the other person.
And in attempting to explain, you are still coming at it from your perspective and making it worse.
Think about it: hearing defines who you are through and through. You just never have to think about it and accept it without question because you a part of the dominant society in that regard. But trust me, through all you say and do, hearing defines it. So why shouldn't deafness define another in those same circumstances.
