Some of my parts have hearing problems. Also,I have a protector part that only uses American Sign Language, because a lot of her " little ones" are too young to talk, cant talk , been told to never talk or are too afraid to talk. If you are hearing impaired you can request an interperture ( if you know sign language) if you need to learn sign language then I would recommend that.Anyway get the help you need so you can start your healing. You can always talk to me...hugs
