You will find the legally deaf persons in the seedy bars of your hometowm. Have no fear; all they want is shmoke, and within 9 hand gestures you will witttingly figure it out. You may not agree, but would be mu(oo)te to argue.

Do you really even have to say anything? Can't you just mouth the words and they'll understand them (assuming they can lip read)? That way you can have a conversation with them and nobody will know what the hell is going on.

No but when my wife talks to Mexicans she almost yells as if they will understand English if it is spoken loudly.

When I realize their condition, I try to fully face then, speak slowly and enunciate the words that I speak.

If there is still some communicaiton problem, a pad of paper is usually nearby.

I learned some sign language so I usually sign "Hello. My name is ______. " to connect a little. I am not good at sign language though, but they are usually patient with me.
