Hello all! my name is Dena and I live in Champaign, IL but originally from Seattle, WA. I consider myself HOH since I am still able to hear some and speak. Grew up hearing, recurrent ear infections, and eartubes left scarring. I've only recently come to recognize my deafness. Learned ASL in high school and I preferred it over English, though i don't get many chances to use it in a small town here. Seattle was easier. I'm married and live with my husband and wonderful cat.
