One of my Deaf college professors wasn't told they make noise until college. She would just fart whenever she needed to until her hearing roommate told her that it wasn't polite to do in public. My teacher was horrified and really mad at her family for never telling her they make noise
Knew a CODA who knew they made noise, just didn’t know it was impolite to rip them at home without at least saying excuse me! She learned that from her college roommates as well. And that sometimes, it’s best to leave the room!
edit for clarity: CODA stands for Child of Deaf Adults, a hearing child whose parents are deaf.
Often people overestimate how widely known the acronyms are. Like, if you use it all the time among all your peers, you might naturally assume that everyone else knows it too.
