Exactly Reba. As my hearing loss progresses, I am loosing the ability to judge my own voice tones and level. I can still hear myself speak through the bones in my head, but the ability to detect and regulate the tone and volume is greatly reduced.
Walter, a deafie friend I worked with years ago, had no hearing memory. He constantly worked on his speech with me as I gave him permission to touch my throat and his while we "talked". He tried to match the vibrations. It did help him control volume and understand a bit better about tones when the same word is repeated as a whisper, a low stern voice, and on up the scale to an angry shout.
