"I don't hear well and have been relying on body language to help me hear what I fail to. My family had hearing issues, too, so there were misunderstandings, confusion, and anger because of it and because it was not discussed. Visual clues are not only for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. There are clues that surround us, clues we give off in the facial expressions we give, and the intuitive nature we often fail to acknowledge. We want to communicate, yet we understand each other so little."
