and let you know that i am almost total deaf a serve hard of hearing and i been in the bussines for almost 20 freaking years and i have no one complain to me.
there are few things that deaf peoples are good is picking up viberations much faster than hearing peoples and we allready trained to use the eyes more than the ears.
and i work on alot of large diesel engines and the noise dont affect me at all. to me it sound a whisper to me that how profounded deaf i am.
i know i heard alot of company dont want to hire deaf peoples due this famous statement " cant hear "
and the other good advange what deaf peoples have is good sign langunge [ hand talking ] we can talk pretty good distance over the noisy everoment you try that with shouting how far you can hear over the noise ??
the other thing with deaf workers they are very focoused workers they genrally don't get distracted with noise much but will spot the sisuation pretty fast with sight.
if you want more question on this one.,, just speak up i will be happy to answer more question here.
Merci, Marc
P.S. i know 3 diffrent sign langunges , speak in french , allready know the code in French electrical code , NEC code of course.
Marc, obviously you made the best of a non ideal situation. But I still wouldn't hire you. None of the "plusses" you've listed enable you to hear "LOOK OUT!" on the jobsite.
