What is one thing you wish people with normal hearing knew about being DHH?  A while ago, mybattlecall asked the question, "What is one thing you wish people understood about hearing loss?" Here is my answer: 

🤍If there's ONE thing from my heart to yours - know that it is NOT straight forward. It's so......GRAY. And individual. 

🤍I might hear my mom but not my dad. 

🤍I might hear you when we're in a restaurant but not in the car. 

🤍I can hear you say the word "five" but not "six." 

🤍I might "hear" you because I can see your lips but I can't when you turn around. 

🤍I might understand a Midwest accent but not a Texan one. 

🤍I might understand Spanish but not Italian. 

🤍I can hear one person with a mask on but not another. 

👆 Every single situation has so many variables and differences. 

🤍I can hear you better in the morning but forget it in the evening. 

🤍I get tired listening to gossip but I'm energized listening to the passion in people's voices. 

🤍I can't pick up on sarcasm but I can hear your car's turn signal. 

🤍I can't recognize songs but I love music. 

🤍I can't hear the GPS voice but I can hear paper crinkling in the back. 

👆My hearing loss may never make any sense to you - but it affects every single aspect, in & out, detail and breath of my LIFE. It's just GRAY!

Now it's your turn to answer the question, what is one thing you wish people with normal hearing knew about being DHH?
