Helping the hearing world to hear deaf people

Hear Me Out! [CC] is a place where hearing people can learn how to connect and engage with deaf people better, plus work together to bridge the gap between the hearing and deaf worlds.

This website is now archived. If you have an interest in taking over the site (which gets thousands of views per month), please get in touch.

Bridging the gap between the hearing and deaf worlds

Hear Me Out! [CC] is a place to celebrate the individual identities by sharing stories about other deaf and my own personal journey.

This site also exists to raise deaf awareness, help educate the hearing world about being more deaf aware, as well as helping those who are deaf to connect with the individual stories.
