Here’s an analogy for hearing vs DHH that I hope helps you understand why I check out more often and more quickly compared to hearing friends!
Note: Everyone’s listening capacity/fatigue tanks are different - just like patience. Everyone has it, but some more than others.
VD: Michelle in her office holding two tubs full of colorful water beads, one large glass jar and one smaller one, pouring the water beads in.
Transcript: Let’s pretend all of these water beads are different components of a listening situation. It could be the topic of the conversation, the person’s accent, someone sitting next to me typing on their keyboard, feet shuffling on the ground, restaurant noise, birds chirping in the background, whatever components of a listening environment. This is the capacity of a hearing person and this is the listening capacity of a deaf or hard of hearing person. Let’s pour those conversations in. Super full, half full - different?
