to deal w/ people, especially in noisy environments, despite the fact I have 2 hearing aids (they pick up too much feedback when you have a noisy environment or lots of people). Thus, I read lips (went to school for)
90% of the time, but this is exhausting.

Talking online, etc. is much better for me, and I don't mistranslate conversations...
