i couldn't agree more, doc. i don't have a problem with hearing people. in fact, i've found that (even back in my hearing aid days) when i calmly and politely explain how they can best communicate with me, they are more than willing to do so. of course, that's not to say i haven't met ignorant or rude people along the way, but in my case, they have been far and few between. the only complaint i really have against those who are sighted-hearing is their claim that i'm amazing because of the things i do. i always like to tell them, "i don't do amazing things. i do normal things differently."
