Q: How is your speech? I mean, how well do you speak? I don't know if you do talk or not.
A: A legitimate question. Some deaf people do not speak and they do not for either one of the two reasons - they do not want to speak for whatever reason or they are unable to speak.
I do speak and I have interacted with other hearing people who have had zero experience with deaf people. I've discovered that there are three types of people when it comes to understanding my speech. Those who understand me with no difficulty, those who need to use imagination to understand me, and those who don't understand at all.
With that said, I've been told that my speech is "good" or "pretty good" for those with my level of deafness who do not rely on hearing aids to aid in communication.

I'm sure you speak perfect. Now, my mumbly speech is really bad. Of course I make everything about me. Sorry.
Question : were you born deaf?
Copyboy - it's always about you. ;)
ADSL - no...maybe that should warrant a post of its own. Hm.
