Last year, Kayla landed a makeup artistry gig for La Catrina<\/a> live on CBS. As a member of the deaf and hard of hearing community, Kayla faces a unique challenge when she communicates with clients. In this guest post, Kayla discusses how she balances hearing impairment with life as a busy freelance makeup artist!<\/i>\n\nIt\u2019s hard to explain what living in a completely hushed world is like. \n\nWhen people ask the question, \u201cWhat does it sound <\/em>like to you?\u201d I don\u2019t have a straight answer. My audiologist said that what you hear as normal conversation sounds like a whisper to me; and upper registers are relatively inaudible unless they are excessively loud (think: live amplified music, or sirens in the city, but they have to be close!). It is a common misconception that with the loss of a sense, another is strengthened, for example eyesight or your sense of smell\u2014but observations of visual cues do become more acute.\n\n
