I am hard of hearing, and I appreciate the cops taking this seriously. My hearing loss is not profound, but unless someone talks to me clearly and at a slightly raised volume, I can't understand. I know they are saying something, but not always what. I had a severe ear infection when I was 12 years old, and my ear drums, in both ears, burst up to 6 times. I have a good amount of scar tissue on them, and this prevents me from hearing some sounds. I was raised by a mother who had nerve deafness in both ears, and I learned to speak loudly and clearly. So I often times talk loudly. I'm not upset. I am hard of hearing. LOL.

I am a retired Police officer, and although I had returned to college to receive more ASL training as a police officer, I used very rudimentary ASL that I learned as a youth to communicate with my aunt. Since my retirement, I have conducted training for police departments regarding contact and communication with DHH community. I am always happy to see these videos that are not "Anti-Police" and serve to teach us (Police officers) . I was the only officer in my department that knew any ASL. It was good that I was present on several police calls for service or they could have turned out very bad.

TheDev....I get you. I was the same way. I had a severe ear infection when I was 12 that nearly killed me, and did damage to both eardrums. 10% hearing loss might not seem much to other people, but it can prevent me from hearing what someone is saying clearly. When you have to tell someone..."I can hear you, but I don't understand what you are saying. Please talk more clearly" you can get people then treating you like you are an idiot. I was raised by a mother who had nerve deafness in both ears, she wore hearing aids, and the moment those were seen people treated her like she was an idiot. It's very distressing to people who are, often, above average intelligence. My mother and I used to collect antique dictionaries for the fun of seeing what old words used to be used but aren't anymore, and she and I read constantly. The older I get the worse the hearing problems are. My daughter gets slightly irritated when she is trying to tell me something, and I tell her that some words come out sounding like she's got mush in her mouth. LOL. Maybe someday we can fix all of these problems with little or nor cost, but till then we just gotta do our best to live in a hearing world.

Now, when you drive you have to be able to hear sirens and other hazards. And also driving while talking on the phone, which everybody does, or wearing head phones will get you a ticket. When I drove semi's commercially I had to get a DOT physical every year and pass a hearing test and if not ware a hearing aid to bring you up to standards. What is the situation with deaf people driving? I'm curious.
@cayleighmusic7 жыл бұрын
Deaf people just have to pass the driving test and the vison test. There's also flashing sirens so we usually notice them. I was actually the first person to react to an ambulance while everyone didn't see them until the ambulance was right behind them. Plus most hearing people don't hear the siren when they're in their car since 1)the car sometimes blocks the sound from outside and 2) they could be listening to the radio .

Most hearing people "can't be bothered" to learn that unless they know a deaf person that they have to communicate with. As a hearing person, I say rock on to the deaf community!

+Abstractum Noumenon No it really isn't. A disability means you are unable to enact a certain facet of existence. Hearing is simply a means of communication.

If the deaf community wants the hearing to communicate better they too have to try & learn to communicate with more than signs. Hearing people do need to learn signs but deaf people need to learn to write for the hearing as well. You can't expect one to do all the learning. I'm learning sign language but I'm still far from being able to hold a complex conversation but I'll try, but for me to learn I need someone willing to learn the way I communicate as well or we aren't going to get very far.
