I'm hearing-impaired...

[Terrance "TJ"]

While I've not been either legally or medically declared to have impairment, I know I have some residual from a condition affecting my L ear. How I've overcome this personally is to have more active vision both the direct and peripheral (sp).

I also think part of what might help me is how I personally run the sideline. In my HS ball days, I say that like I'm older than I really am...sheesh, when I was taught to run my lane as a 2/3 on the court, I would run my lane wide and close to the sideline as possible. So aware that could happen, as a ref I try to run a bit wider which brings me closer to the coaches and their bench from time to time. So I could see the coaches taking advantage of that habit from me as well, either positive or negative.
