Tried being a good hubby by grilling burgers for dinner since my wife had a bit of a rough day at work...turns out Teriyaki is flammable and I single handedly ruined today's dinner and my wife's lunch for tomorrow. Pizza it is! #dinnerfail

I used to have a full mold but those would make my ears sweat and give me a deep itch that I couldn't relieve. These newer ones only itch where that thin piece makes contact. I suppose it's the lesser of two evils but I still prefer not wearing any.

It would also be a more expensive representation, and I already know some signs whereas I do not know any foreign spoken languages.

Thank you for clarifying, I've been raised in a hearing world and did not realize there was a difference. These are the things I hope to learn from this site and all of the awesome people here. Thanks again.

FaceTime anyone? I'm open for a short while longer. I think I know enough to be conversational...maybe.

How would I be able to find the Deaf Community near me? (Just south of Indianapolis, IN) Google.com hasn't been helpful.

Been HOH since grade 2, that's when I got my first h.a. I meant I'm still hearing as in I still have the ability to hear...didn't know hearing was so confusing.

Cats and ferrets? I don't follow.

Yes, longer than 1 day. Maybe week, 2 week.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean

The h.a. I have now don't have molds. I'll have to take a picture and post it so you can see.

As of yet I am still hearing, although I've been classified as 50% loss in my left ear and 75% loss in my right ear. Would it be insensitive of me to do an experiment in which I wear earplugs for an extended amount of time (7+days) just to see what the future may hold?

I'm HOH and have always had a job (at least since graduating high school) Although there are some professions i can't do because of my hearing. I currently read electric meters for a living. I walk an average of 12-16 miles everyday m-f

Looking for an in person ASL buddy so I can learn. I'm HOH and need/want to learn ASL before I become deaf. No weirdos please. Haha
