To feel rather like slapping my friend right now

I am partially deaf in one ear-I only have around 40% hearing. It’s not a type of deafness that can be helped with a hearing aid. So I basically just get on with it. I struggle to hear people in noisy environments. But generally i manage okay. I was out with my friend yesterday and she’d obviously asked me something and I hadn’t heard a word. She then bellows HELLOOO -earth to (my name) come in please ffs. She knows about my deafness - I didn’t say anything -I let it go.Obviously I’m not going to slap her -bu it actually really pissed me off. There were other people there I’m not stupid-I’m not ignorant -I have partial hearing . Im really tempted to send her a text telling her what I think of her . Any thoughts ?

We're grateful that this thread has been reported to us as we want to reinforce the views of some posters and ask EVERYONE to be empathetic when giving their views around hearing loss.

The lives of those with a disability are undoubtedly the most impacted and we'd ask that people remember that when posting.
