Professor issue how to deal with it?

Post Reply New Topic

I have a nice cool male professor the only fault is he's loud and bellows and it hurts my ears. I don't know how to say "you seem to loud" without coming off as rude. Has anyone else had a loud professor and how did you deal with that issue?

Hmmm, that's a tough one. I never had that problem but I would suggest you just kindly tell him of your sensitive hearing. Although I did have a professor who was partially deaf. He didn't speak too loudly but maybe your professor is hard of hearing as well. Most people who cannot hear well tend to raise their voices to hear themselves better.

If he perhaps has hearing issues I'd feel stupid having brought it up. IMO it's like a dad yelling over his noisy kids or Fred flinstones WILMA! Real loud and bellow like.

Do you have accomadations at your school? Maybe you can ask disability services what to do about it, because this seems like sensory problems, which is definitely disability-related. He might not know how loud he seems to you.

Another option is that you could sit in the back of the class (does he walk around, though?) because you might be further away from his yelling. I know that usually people are supposed to sit in the front of the class because it makes them get As or something, but this is important because if he's too loud it will probably make it difficult for you to learn the material.

Have you introduced yourself to him previously, and told him you're on the spectrum? Then it would be easy(er) to say, "I don't know if I mentioned this before, but one thing I have trouble with is loud noises."

Hi. No he doesn't walk around he stays right in the front by the blackboard. I left class then decided to ask him and he said that's his learning style is to be loud so he can get others attention. If I'm having a problem I can sit in the back. He wasn't overly nice but sort of rude but not really rude about it. My sensory issues aren't that bad it's just an annoyance and grating on the ears. I HOPE! I can finish out my AA then get my Bachelor and Masters in Criminal Justice almost ALL online. I hope! I think I'll push through since I love the topic of Criminology so much although he does bellow the topic is a special interest that I love so that keep me interested and engaged even if it is grading on my ears.

If you go to a store like WalMart or Target you can find ear plugs that block out different amounts of noise. Maybe all you need is earplugs that block out a little of the volume of his voice.

^That.
