A hoh person who decides to try to be deaf at their first time away from home usually has some emotional problems that prevented them from getting along previously.
Trying to be deaf isn't going to make it all better. They need to work on the underlying problem.
What Frisky said is right . Plenty of people are happy to socialize with hoh people and they don't need to feel rejected.
But the idea of trying to take on a new culture as a solution to your problems isn't going to work.
