By the way, may I suggest to change from Hearing Impaired to Deaf/Hard of Hearing or People with Hearing Loss?

No, "Hearing Impaired " is what is considered "politically correct". The terminology was changed from "Deaf/Hard of Hearing or People with Hearing Loss" as those terms were deemed "politically incorrect" originally.

Doesn't matter if it's P.C. or not, it;'s still a label.

The standard term, when referring to pple with a hearing loss is: a person who is *Deaf, deaf, deafened, or hard of hearing*. Mostly people say deaf or hard of hearing. Best lead is what does the person themselves refer to themselves as. A person with ie late hearing loss may say they are hearing impaired. A member of the Deaf community will never use that term..they are Deaf with a capital D.

It would depend? Idk if I would ever have a boyfriend that's hearing impaired, but there was one woman I knew who was partially deaf in both ears, and I never even knew she was deaf till, like 3 years after I met her when she told me. I mean, she usually couldn't hear people if they were not talking in front of her, unless they were yelling, and she did have to ask people to repeat themselves a lot, but I never really had a problem with it. I would think it would be easier to be around someone who's partially deaf, as opposed to just deaf, though, because I don't know if anyone who's 100% deaf can be helped with hearing aids.

You can call me whatever you want. deaf, Deaf, hard of hearing, impaired doesn't matter. Who really cares! What you refer to me as doesn't change the fact that I can't hear crap. So why worry about it!
