This real-life deaf moment is too relatable not to share! I was at a pizza buffet with my cochlear implant and hearing aid set to streaming focus mode—blasting some 80s tunes while eating solo. But when I left my phone at the booth and walked away, a restaurant staff member started talking to me… and I couldn’t hear a single thing she said. I was stuck smiling and nodding while guessing my way through the conversation. Have you ever had one of those moments?
