Why can’t I just ask people to repeat themselves? I feel so much shame for being hard of hearing. I feel like a burden.
People take it so personally, don’t they
Before I started losing my hearing I was already used to asking people to repeat themselves, since I was living abroad and not fluent in the language after all. Although back then nobody seemed to mind, since its normal for foreigners. Ironically its my own countrymen who had less patience for it.
I wish people asked me to repeat myself rather than assuming that they heard/understood what I had said.
