There sure as hell is. Not really, most of us have to deal with people we can't stand at some point. Work, school, etc. Not if you're deaf like me... Just act like you're fixing your hearing aids or cochlear implants and turn them off when you put them back on until they leave. It's a pretty nice ignore feature. Although I will not recommend that you do it in a classroom. Lol, not all of us can go that route.
