I for one am a much better writer than I am speaker- no contest! I need time to internalize what people say to me and more importantly I need to make sure I've heard properly before I respond. So "quick thinker" definetely isn't on my list of strengths- which doesn't mean I am not smart, it just means my thought process needs time :-) I have a mild bilateral hearing loss- which means both ears are affected and a loss of around 26 to 45 decibels. It also means that my speech and language development was affected as a child and may be on a small level even now.
My husband even told me I write better than I speak :-) Of course I do- ever heard of the delete button? LOL It is also much easier for me to express my thoughts on paper because I have time to organize and articulate my thoughts. Anything that involves spontaneity (debating or impromptu) is more difficult for me.
Humourous aspects of a hearing loss
You find you don’t hear what you used to pretend you didn’t hear.
Your friends will trust you with a secret. But, you probably didn’t hear it in the first place.
People appreciate that they don’t have to talk about you behind your back; as long as they keep smiling while they face you.
You can't hear your partner snoring anymore.
If your home is under the flight path of a major airport
So how about you? What are you better at, writing or speaking?
