Oh...I cant even begin to tell u how many times that happened to me especially working with hearing people. I worked for an insurance company and we would have meetings for feedback and suggestions for improvement. I would give my suggestions but people gave me this look like "oooh look at the deaf girl giving her cute opinion." and just smiled and nodded at me without taking any of my suggestions seriously. Then they would take other people's suggestions on the drawing board and discuss them in depth. Not once in 3 years, none of my suggestions were taken to the drawing board and it made me feel very inadequate and I actually believed that all hearing people were smarter than I was. Oh well.
