I'm hard of hearing, 40% in one ear and 60% in the other...

being deaf...what does that have to do with athletics?


It may not affect a deaf persons physical potential. It may effect the quality of their instruction. I had a deaf girl try out for the pole vault and there was defiantly something lost in translation between the interpreter and me.


Considering some of the crap that gets taught about pole vaulting, not being able to hear might be an unfair advantage. ;)
