The local office here has a digital sign in thing, you type in your social security number, hit the option for language needs which includes Spanish and Deaf/Hard of Hearing, then what you're there for. I select "Deaf" and it used to just be those guys that think they have to talk very loud and very slowly, which completely kills lip reading.

I'm capable of being oral, however I prefer to sign on account that lip reading is excessively tiring. Requires too much focus and attention.
