		<description>hi dee, very rad blog you have:

i agree with you 100%. the value of a conversation that goes beyond words is indescribable. i think that everyone should feel capable of appreciating the nonverbal elements that go hand-in-hand with conversation, but i also believe that should serve as a fair warning to others to give consideration to the words they choose that provide the basis for those conversations. 

there are innumerable wonderful things in this world, and i want to experience all of them. for us, not being able to hear as well as the next person can be regarded just as much as a gift as it is a disability. you&#039;re damn-right-on with that one. but as much as i&#039;d love to embrace a more vibrantly sensed world, i think it&#039;s also worth establishing to people who might not think beyond their privileges, and who think it&#039;s okay to litter words.</description>

		<description>As I&#039;m sure you&#039;re well aware that you&#039;re not alone in your loss. I too have experienced a recent loss in the sensitivity of my hearing. All of the white noise that makes up our surroundings has become an obstacle to basic communication. I find myself making choices such as walking on less travelled streets to avoid the hum of traffic which results in an inability to understand others walking/talking  with me.

I dare say that your criticism of the waste in what people have to say to you is inaccurate. Perhaps their choice of words is poor but I dare say that we can find value in just about anything shared. I&#039;ve found that observing all of the other wonderful ways that we communicate beyond simple words has proven to be far more rewarding. Perhaps there&#039;s a bunch of &quot;umms&quot; and &quot;ahhs&quot; but I&#039;ve often found that there&#039;s also a sparkle in their eyes, a grin on their lips or a tear in their eye.

Call it self-help &quot;cheese&quot; but I think we&#039;ve been gifted with an opportunity to communicate in a way that makes our lives far more rich. Consider joining me in embracing all the great things that people are saying to us in ways that I&#039;m sure most are not aware of.</description>

		<description>[...] Stephanie asks &#8220;Do you talk just to hear yourself speak?&#8221; This reminded me of a quote from Fight Club: &#8220;When people think you&#8217;re dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just&#8230;instead of just waiting for their turn to speak?&#8221; [...]</description>
