I know what you are talking about as I am very hard of hearing myself and
the people in general do not want to make any types of acomadations for
that and even with test results they think that it is just a game and
they don't think it is good enough .
  The main reason is that deafness is not a disablility that you can see
with the eyes. They are so use to see a wheelchair or something like that
that a person that is deaf or hard of hearing is fakeing it and they
don't want to be bothered.
 I am sorry for the bluntness but truth is truth. I ahve been dealing
with this for a life time so I know .
