So I’ve learned a lot about dealing with a hidden disability. Nobody notices your disability unless you tell them, which is usually socially awkward.
Then they’ll make all sorts of wrong assumptions about it.
Some then make a fuss over it, which can be even more embarrassing.
Some get more embarrassed themselves as if it’s their fault I can’t hear them.
I understand these reactions - they’re meant well.
But they don’t help.
It’s best just to ask me if I need any accommodations.
