And i kept pulling it down so he could read my lips...you know...because he is deaf.
Idiocracy doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Will be hard to do.
Tried to sue a doctor for denying me my rights to a qualified sign language interpreter and was told to take it to the Department of Human and Health Services.
The whole procedure took a YEAR to do then at the end, they said there's nothing I can do about it.
The system is BROKEN, unless you're willing to pay out of your pockets to sue them, for which I don't have the funds to do so.
Also, just wanted to let you know, the better term to describe deaf people is "Deaf/HOH".
"Hearing Impaired" is a political correct term that none of us asked for, yet the idiots identified us as such. Of course, that depends on the individual like if you've been hearing most of your life then you've suddenly gone deaf or your hearing has declined, then "hearing impaired" may fit here. Deaf people like myself, who have been deaf their whole life, do not want to be called "Hearing Impaired" as it implies that we're broken as a whole. Deaf is fine and it's not even offensive. It's apropos.
