How can I be considerate of someone with hearing impairment?

If you know that an individual who is deaf reads lips, simply speak normally and make sure he or she has a direct line of sight with your face. Don’t exaggerate your speech or slow it down thinking you’re helping the deaf person read your lips better, because you’re not. It will just confuse him or her.

Talk as you normally would and the deaf individual will pick up most of what you say, even though only 30% of the English language is readable on a person’s lips. Individuals who are born deaf, or who have lost their hearing in a nontraumatic way, present no visible signs that they are deaf or hard of hearing. For this reason deafness is considered a hidden disability; most hearing individuals are unaware of the fact that the person is deaf.

Because of this, some people may treat the deaf person inappropriately when the deaf person does not respond to questions or commands.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
