I am currently both deaf and hard of hearing. For clarity in regard to my disability:

Deafness is complete silence without wearing hearing aids. For example, I take them off when I'm going to sleep, going into pool, or taking shower, etc.

Hard of Hearing means being able to hear with hearing aids, but not to the fullest extent. I wear hearing aids all the time, especially while I'm gaming. However, with hearing aids, there is still a slight deafness in me, because there are some noises that I cannot fully hear such as bird chirping, beeps, and so forth.

I have a speech disorder/impediment, which is a side effect from being deaf. There are times that I will speak very clearly and other times I will speak incoherently. It is something that I cannot control.

I cannot understand voices online as well, because I'm used to lipreading ever since I was little. To me, the voices are like white noise coming from television.

Thanks for reading and understanding.
