I am almost deaf, but only on one side. I was about to suggest the recent discussion on deafness on HN, then I realized you have commented there. I really loved that thread. Thanks for commenting on it. I realized that it is so much better to be upfront about the difficulty especially when meeting someone new. For some reason that had not occurred to me before.

I tried to find a closed caption version of the video. But it appears that google has not enabled auto closed captioning on all of its channels. Apparently they are rolling that feature in gradually. So maybe sometime in the future the video will have closed captions.
