Elisa - Hard of hearing
"My hearing loss makes everything sound like it's underwater, so I was stoked to represent my disability that way. To make the world more accessible for the DHH (Deaf and hard of hearing) community, always caption your videos! Access to communication is life-changing.
My best advice for interacting with the DHH community is to ask what that person's preference is. Some DHH folks are lip-readers, some need super clear articulation, some have a "better" ear that they use to listen, some only communicate via sign language so writing or typing things out on a phone to communicate is helpful, etc. "
