Welcome to The Hear Me Out! [CC] Podcast, an audio show (with transcripts included) where we listen to stories from fascinating individuals in and around the d/Deaf community and from your host, yours truly, Ahmed Khalifa.
A common that I get asked and I see on Google is whether a deaf or hard of hearing person can hear with their hearing aids on?
The short answer is the dreaded "it depends".
The long answer is that it's complicated.
But it's important for everyone to answer that hearing aids are not a solution. The key word is "aids" i.e. they can aid us to help better not make us hear as hearing people can do.
