Frustrating. Funny. Confusing. Completely ridiculous.
People shouting like volume fixes deafness.
Wild arm-waving that looks more like landing a plane than sign language.
Strangers switching to slow… dramatic… mime as if that helps.
And the occasional genius who thinks deafness is contagious.
This is daily life.
Dave lost his hearing as a child, first in one ear overnight, then the other not long after. Years later, what little remained faded, leading to hearing aids, implants, and a lifetime of lipreading, guesswork, and the occasional bluff worthy of an Oscar.
But this isn’t a sob story.
It’s a collection of real moments, awkward, unbelievable, and often hilarious, where ignorance meets good intentions, and common sense quietly leaves the room.
From painfully cringeworthy encounters to laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, these stories shine a light on deaf awareness in the most honest way possible: by finding the humour in it.
Because when you’re constantly reminded you’re deaf…
You might as well laugh about it.
Welcome to The Frustrations of Being Deaf.
