Mattydoos79 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Hi just to say happy deaf awareness week, which I am deaf so people just face me and speak clearly and in well lit place so I can see lip reading. Also don’t mumble or face away when talking. If I’m not sure what you just said, you can write it down or explain clearer. Thank you and happy deaf awareness week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
