Jim Kyte played for the San Jose Sharks from 1994 to 1996. He was a bruising defense man, weighing 220 pounds and standing 6-foot-5. It was perhaps because of his size, he notes, that very few people ever made fun of him because he has profound hearing loss. Here's his advice about dealing with hearing loss:
"If you don't understand something that was said, don't be afraid to ask the person to repeat it...Don't be afriad to ask someone to keep their hands away from their mouths. If you are in a public place, don't be afraid to ask somebody to turn on closed captions on a TV or video." (Glantz, Feb., 2018, The Hearing Journal)
