Rule number one is, make sure that you face the person with hearing loss when you are speaking to them.

Happy Days was a wonderful, wonderful experience and I would not have traded it for the world.

I learned a great deal doing Brooklyn Bridge. I was able to take a giant step into the terrible reality that was then. We saw the cattle cars that took folks away. Just knowing it was real, it would be impossible not to feel.

The thing about hearing loss is that no one can see it. Most people are so impatient; they just assume that the person with hearing loss is being rude, or slow-witted.
