yes it does but there are some secrets to why being deaf is good that we

deaf/HH like to keep to ourselves, lol.

I know i hate it when people say i can turn off my hearingaids whenever i

dont like something but seriously coming from someone elce its rude and

disrespectful but when your sitting riding a bus, having your hearing aids

off is a perfect time to relax and destress if you can. I cant really do

that cause im afraid of people coming too near me or touching me or sitting

on me wich happens a lot on the bus unfortunatly, but turning off my hearing

aids i can concentrate on what i see instead.

people sit on you? i think someone would get seriously injured if they sat

on me... maybe you could start carrying around a little half sphere with

sharp little points on top (and a nice soft padded bottom) and set it in

your lap when you're on the bus so if they sat on you they'd get a prickled

bottom!

grrrrr @ people who sit on other people!
