[quote=Anonymous]I’m the hearing parent of a deaf child. Are the parents hearing? Do you know if the child uses some sort of amplification (hearing aids) or has cochlear implants? If the parents are hearing and the child doesn’t use any sort of amplification, I would guess that they are being super loud because it is a volume where they can hear and/or feel themselves vocalizing. My child is profoundly deaf so a lawn mower sounds like something very soft to them. They would also need to shout to hear themselves. So that may be the same for this child. I think it would be fine to mention that your baby sleeps starting at 7 and if they could ask their child to try to not be super loud after that time. Depending on how old your DC is, you may be better off getting a dog trainer - I am annoyed when my dogs bark even if it’s not waking anyone else up, and you.[/quote]
