[quote=Anonymous]I am NOT saying this was your fault, OP, because it wasn’t, but when the mom looked up and saw something in the child’s hand and noticed that you were mildly agitated and you were calling it your “device,” she probably did not understand what had happened. She called it your toy because she had no idea what it was or what was going on. (Which does not make it ok that she was so checked out that she didn’t see her child rip a hearing aid off a stranger’s body!) If anything like this ever happens again, it’s completely ok to be much more assertive and clear with the mom about what happened. Like as soon as the child touches your head, you can yell, “No! Don’t do that.” And when you realize he has your device, you can stand up and say to the mom, with emotion, “he just grabbed the hearing aid off my head. I’m deaf and it connects to the cochlear implant in my brain. I’m going to take that back from him” (or “I need you to get that back from him” but it sounds like she was pretty useless.)

And then, of course, move away from them in the waiting room.

I’m very sorry this happened to you.[/quote]
