As I walked along the Edgware Road, I felt as though the world was closing to me. All the 36 I take for granted had gone. I had entered into a world of silence.
This 37 experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to “go deaf for the day to 38 the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. Now I serve as an ambassador.
That day when I 39 a cab to take me to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldn’t hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. 40 was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to 41 the interphone (对讲机) five times as I couldn’t hear a(n) 42 .
Everybody said I was shouting at them — I simply wasn’t 43 of the volume of my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didn’t 44 . I was too busy trying to concentrate on 45 his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it more slowly again and again. 46 he lost his patience and shouted at me: “Just give me the phone!” I was shocked.
People couldn’t be 47 to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was 48 to finish by myself. I lost control, feeling 49 and awkward.
Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily 50 . I had to work so hard to “ 51 ” with my eyes, get people’s attention and use my other 52 to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort. Until that 53 I didn’t realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go 54 .
Therefore, if a deaf person asks you to repeat something, 55 say: “It doesn’t matter.” It does matter.
