When I'm working with younger kids, because I am deaf I have a significantly harder time understanding them when their voice goes into whiny pitch. The first time happens, I will stop and explain to them that I can't hear them when they use that voice, and pull out my hearing aid to show proof. The next time they do, they are ignored by me, until they choose to return their voice to the normal range. I don't seem to have as much of a problem with this because I honestly cannot make out their demands, and if they can't get what they want, they will stop.
