As someone with a sister and father who are hard of hearing and as a person who is very soft spoken (my natural tone of voice is very soft and what I'd say is bordering a whisper) I understand what its like to change the way I communicate with them to account for the lack of hearing to each. With my sister, I have to speak at a louder volume, possibly eliminating any background noise for her. My father, on the other hand, I often have to eliminate background noise and slow down and enunciate my speech to have him completely understand me.
