*pounds head against wall* Remember the HARD in HOH. I grew up with *only* a moderately severe loss. I am also strangely enough an AURAL learner. But my experiance processing sound and being auditory oral was IDENTICAL as to my friends with more traditional Deaf losses.
Bear in mind that your brain KNOWS how to process sound the way a hearing person's does. It just needs INPUT. For you and Txgolfer that's second nature....But the majority of dhh kids brains have never processed sound the way a hearing person has.
It's easier for a HOH kid to percieve sound yes, but it's not second nature......those of us who are HOH still have to work hard to process sound/speech.
