to AllDeaf forum. I understand your feelings. I had trouble trying to understand in mainstream elementary school and mainstream high school (no interpreters and no notetakers or any special devices for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing). Also it is and was a struggle going through the hearing world trying to understand them. I am married to my hearing husband and he think that hearing aid will help me hear him words but I told him that it is not true, because I could not pick up the words only that I can hear with my hearing aid that he repeat the words or the sentences over and over that I could tell the sound when I am not lipreading him. I keep telling him that I am Deaf no matter if I have hearing aid or not. I have been deaf/Deaf since birth. So you are not alone and there are a lot of us Deafies who have gone through the same thing that you have gone through. I just hope you enjoy reading and posting all the threads here. Have fun with us. See you around.
