People who begin to go deaf in adult life have different problems from those who are horn deaf. They have to learn different ways of behaving and different ways of communication—perhaps at a time when learning is not all that easy.
A hearing aid is not a complete solution to the problem. The sound perceived by the deaf person through a hearing aid is distorted and appears to have more background noise than is heard by someone with normal hearing. Deafened people have to lipread as well.
Lipreading is difficult, demands intense concentration, and an uninterrupted direct view of the speaker’s face. No other activities can take place at the same time: the lipreader has to stop eating, stop everything in order to concentrate on hearing. It is not a question of stupidity or bad temper—as it sometimes appears to be—but a question of being very easy to misunderstand when the sound is distorted. Remember what it’s
A. can hear well with the help of a hearing aid
