Though not deaf, I have extremely poor hearing, and can empathize greatly. I can ask people to speak up several times, and when they won't I often find it easier to just give up. I always appreciate your writing on Fedora Planet, and just want to encourage you to keep up your excellent work! Nathan Mel,

Of course, it would require good HMDs and unobtrusive wearable steno rigs, but I remain convinced that once the hardware is available, the geeks will be all over that action. I hope so, anyway. http://stenoknight.com/MobileWearable.html This is why one of my eventual goals for Plover is to make it so common and widespread — especially in geek communities — that people can just drop into conversational-speed steno as appropriate, whether to accommodate someone with hearing loss, or to make the conversation less public/more intimate, or to be able to easily insert hyperlinks or other media, or to be able to keep a verbatim record of the proceedings, or whatever.
