I am hearing impaired. I have a 60% hearing loss to one ear after an accident as a child. I've been dealing with it since I was 6 so don't even notice it. I can lip read. And both XDH and my DD are VERY loud which makes it pretty easy for me to hear them I struggle when there is background noise, when I'm in the car I struggle to hear DD. But otherwise if I am struggling I just lip read.
