well, it is probably your accent. you may talk a bit louder because of your hearing problem . and/ or you may interpret things differently because of it .(:
hope this helped .(: ariana

It may be both. Hearing loss makes you louder and since you speak about as well as you can hear, then your speech may deteriorate as well. What is important is that you can understand and be understood. Genevieve

Definitely, people talk in a tone of where they can hear themselves and others hear them. If you can’t hear yourself… you will think you are talking to low… then, correspondingly, you will begin to talk louder. Yet there is speech and hearing therapy that will help enable you to average out the volume of your speech and talking without having to hear yourself thoroughly. Hope this Helps :] Joshua

sometimes people with hearing loss will talk different because they cant hear their own voice, so they dont know what pitch or volume they are using. if you can hear enough that you can hear your own voice fine, then its most likely your accent. Leigh

I have a friend who lost her hearing when she was very young and dated a guy who happened to be deaf. Both of these people do speak slightly different than what people consider normal but it isn’t difficult to understand them. It isn’t an issue of them speaking too loud but they don’t have clear enunciation. Not that it’s hard to understand them, after a while I stopped noticing it. It may be your accent but even if it isn’t, if people are able to understand you that’s what matters. Suzie

It could be a bit of both. Someone whop uses English, for example when it is not their native tongue may have accented English in that their native tongue might have a slight impact on their pronunciation. Additionally, depending on the degree of hearing loss and the longevity of the loss, we speak what as hear when we are hearing impaired. IAN
