Thanks for your reply. It could work, but if I hid my hearing aid...I wouldn't be able to hear anything. I can't talk normal either because what I'm able to hear is what I'm able to speak.

Maybe you should use your hearing problem as an opening and then attract them using your pua skills. That way, they already know your problem?

Well be creative. You can use a trilby hat. The shade will mask it a little. I know certain clubs ban hats but you can always sneak one in. Or just lie temporarily, say its a new fashion fad and continue with whatever you are doing.

As for your diction, i am not entirely sure how you sound, but you should try recording your voice on your phone to hear it better. The only thing you need to speak well is good lips muscles (open them well when you talk and work them out), only speak when you are breathing out, emphasize your consonants and lots of practice. If you are a native born speaker then you probably got the speaking rhythm down. But you really need to mask it temporarily if you are to pick up a girl in places like clubs and bars.

Is it wrong to think that using your disability in a disarming way would actually help?

Try quieter pubs/martini bars, and use a tried and true approach on a girl using some kind of joke opening, when she seems engaged act like you dont understand her then write, "Im deaf..." on a napkin. I'd imagine the combination of a good opening with the dual punch of that would hook her.

It seems that going to clubs where loud music is being played places you at a disadvantage you could do without. Also maybe getting a good wingman would help? Someone who could do the opening for you?

Try something different that doesn't require you to speak right away. Like when your in a club most of the time its too loud to talk! so what you can do it get her attention and then do a quick magic trick! like appear a coin or disappear a coin. The key here is to get her intrigued and then as she gets more keen on you and can start to subtly let her know about your problems. Dont give up mate women are really good when it comes to these things, they are a lot less shallow than us men are! you will be fine!

Hey man,

Five year long dry spell? And I thought my longest dry spell of 1,5 years was excruciatingly long... I feel your pain.

I know the speech of many people who have hearing problems sounds unpleasant to people who don't have such problems. If I were you, I'd lose all verbal game and go for physical game. In this method you don't really need to talk at all - of course, you'd have to talk to the girl(s) eventually, especially if you'd want LTRs with them, but physical game would enable you to postpone that moment until after you'd close.

Read "Physical Game" by Ozzie, I hope it'll help you... And good luck!

Hey man!

I have almost the exact problem as you do:

here's what I do:

Talk Louder with enfasis on saying the things as sharp as possible. It may feel fake for a while but it does wonders in the long run. When you talk louder, somehow girls get the thing that they should talk louder too.

Don't lean in to ask something you didn't hear as it lowers your position. Instead make a joke about what she said or just read her. Sometimes girls just need you to reinforce their opinion.

Isolate as much as you can. (maybe the primarly reason of why I'm a smoker) mints.

Body language x 100000. Lip reading as much as you can but without letting her know. Sometimes they could interpret it as you are just looking at her tits.

Never ever complain about the loudness of where you are at.

Make a game out of it, sign lenguage game, crazy dign lenguage game. escalate it. it can be fun and interesting.

A lot of girls think that they have a hearing problem too so just bring it up in a casual jokingly not in a medical serious way.

Learn how to make a cool excuse for your ("temporary") hearing loss. My favorite:

yesterday I had to roadie for a friends band. I got to stay at a nice hotel and girls were trowing themselves at me. However the police shut it down because the venue broke like all the sound regulations in town.

And lastly remember that sometimes not being able to hear something and just reapeting something completely different will just get a few laughs.

Anyways, I hope this are helpful. I have been able to adapt to this whitout using a hearing aid because it raises too many questions.

Real life will soon have subtitles.
