  • Interesting, thank you for answering. Anecdotally I’ve got both hearing loss and a dog allergy, but I’ve never met anyone with a hearing ear dog. The deaf people I know don’t consider it much of a disability at all, besides the social expectations thrust on them by hearing people. Most hearing people want to make the disability 100% our problem and 0% their problem.

    I’m frequently frustrated by quick simple solutions like “just get a dog”, “just learn to read lips”, etc. And then the expectation becomes “well, it’s your fault because you don’t have a dog.”
