I was born deaf. I am currently both deaf and hard of hearing. For clarity in regard to my disability:

Deafness is complete silence without wearing hearing aids, i.e. taking them off when going to sleep, or going into pool, or taking shower, etc.

Hard of Hearing means being able to hear with hearing aids, but not to the fullest extent. I wear hearing aids all the time, even while gaming, except when sleeping or taking a shower. However, with hearing aids, there is still a slight deafness in me, because there are some noises that I cannot fully hear such as bird chirps, beeps, and so forth.

I have a speech disorder, which is a side effect from being deaf. There are times that I will speak very clearly and other times I will speak incoherently.

I cannot understand voices online, because I'm used to lipreading and obviously you can't do that in any voice program, except the ones that provide webcam feature in them. Voices are like white noise to me.

Thank you for your understanding
