how they can gently let me know if I am loud. I explain that I do no hear my self or
am I able to tell what my tone is like. As I cannot hear myself. What I see as
discussing a point may be taken as me being aggressive when I am not.

when these situations arise along with facing the speaker as I take cues form the
speaker. When I am having trouble hearing as well as trying to be mindful when I
may be speaking louder and that their may be a tone that I do not hear.

and it makes for a good working relationship with those willing to keep this in mind
and these people will be their when other do not believe
