I'm deaf, and if someone speaks slowly to me as if I'm dumb would that an offence? It happens quite often. But I just tell them politely. I don't think I've ever had a problem to the point where I would consider it as discrimination with how I'm treated. That would never enter my mind. Just correct and get on with life.

I know exactly where you are coming from. Soon as someone sees my hearing aids they start to talk louder and slower.
