Well, it gave me about 75% capacity back.

THEN I'LL TRY TO SPEAK UP.

DO PEOPLE EVER RECOGNIZE THE DEVICE IN PUBLIC, AND ASK YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT IT?

Everyone has someone in their office they would like to punch in the face.

Deaf people do sign furiously when "yelling" or arguing.

Ever seen a deaf couple arguing while driving? They aren't looking at the road and hands aren't on the wheel most of the time, but somehow they are driving. Scariest fucking thing I have ever seen.

They actually are loud in a lot of cases also. For example: they have sex very loudly and play music at full volume because they can only feel it.

I went to Rochester Institute of Technology which includes NTIF (largest technical college in the world for deaf students). So we shared classes, dorms, and roadways with a lot of deaf students.

Not to mention that very few places actually have "bike paths". They are typically multi-use paths where it is very dangerous to ride a road bike. We have had two children injured very badly after being struck by cyclists. As a runner and a cyclist, I agree that road bikes really do belong on the road, and cyclists have just as much responsibility as drivers do to make a roads safe.
