Custom Section
Hearing impairment, As someone who is hearing impaired, communicating over the phone can be difficult due to my reliance on lip-reading and written communication. This often causes discomfort and frustration during necessary calls. Briefly explaining my disability is challenging, and I sometimes feel misunderstood or overlooked. However, I advocate for myself and seek alternative ways to communicate effectively despite these challenges.
