Very exceptional post for me really because i can relate. They really hear the sound of silence. I am still grateful for having my hearing abilities intact and the only way i could show how grateful i was, was when i was working in an organisation that helped people with disabilities.
One needed to remember that shouting could make it hard for them to lip-read
So we did our very best to try to use body language and facial expressions when you speak as this helps give the person you are speaking to some context in case they missed part of what you said. One could only imagine. I just tried to close two of my ears tightly to have a bit of the feeling of being deaf, and it is really scary and if you try it you could literally hear the only sound Mr Robert hears. Our rent on earth is to reach out to those who don't have as much privilege as we do.
By the way i really love the wordcloud pic.
