I was just wondering if anyone ever took advantage of having a hearing loss... like getting away with speeding... getting accepted into a selective program/school... networking... Just looking for some stories.

Here's one of mine:
When I was little, I used to shut off my hearing aids whenever I didn't want to hear my hearing brother go on and on about some stupid argument. He'd get so upset!

LOL...I did that too with a cousin that I spent a lot of time with as a child. But I never really turned off the aids bc I didn't want to miss anything she said, I just pretended to to make her mad. Awful, huh?

And I thought I was the only one to do this! When I was single, sometimes, at parties, I would wear my hair up and pretend to not hear someone I did not want to dance with. And, I use it all the time when my husband talks about something I don't want to hear. Like how many pairs of shoes I own. Lol!
