Hi Vertbatim - I live in Dallas, Texas as well. Are you hearing or deaf?

I am at the point where I do not hear my voice, the shower if my hearing aid is out. I hsve good speech due to good hearing in my left ear as a child but my ex gf she is the opposit (and likr many other oral deaf people I have met). It always pisses meoff when I hear someobe struggling with...

HI artr - I am new here too. I am 26 years old deaf in my right ear with hearing loss in my left that degrades over time - not so quickly like yours. Hearing aids are pretty cool if you ask me (though I've worn them my whole life).

Welcome, I am new here as well!

I like the similarities! Gre up in a suburb of dallas. Blows my mind my parents did not investigate the other side - with the resources in the surrounding area...

Jason, I am new but welcome back. What type of hearing loss do you have?

I agree wishing does not change but the lessons we have recieved through experience is cruical and could position us to be able to help others. Dhh programs that I went towere too little and insufficent to really build the self confidence and social skills needed to grow.

Im new too. I had good enough hearing as a child that I was picking up speech and developed a "normal" (quotes as to what us truly normal?) Voice. My ex girlfriend has an implant and she had a "deaf" voice. My experiences with hearing loss is that everything sounds as it should and I will meet...

Hi steffie nice to meet you. I think it is good that you sign with your kid!

@ chicagoblue - yeah ut can be psycholigical a bit as it goes so slow. @derek - parents are from skokie I belueve they went to siu @lissa - nuce to meet you! Thank you for saying hello.

@ Chicago Blue - I hate the feeling of losing the left ear too. I feel like it goes too slow

I want to correct myself - the approach would be to find an education that fits. I meant that if its a challenging situation like mainstream school I would probably change that to deaf school (seen as most impractical given family situation) or do something highly supplementary like using a sign...

NYNY - Deaf in right ear due to CMV related loss at birth. This was before screening so was not picked up (nor the virus) until I was about 4 years of age. Hearing loss in the left ear is sensorneural (sp). Severe to profound. (started out mild to moderate). I did lip reading in middle -...

I'm new to the fourm - I haven't participated in one of these for years but the whole Hearing - Deaf school concept is a huge issue for me. I grew up through the hearing schools and was bullied mercilessly. It may be true that you would be bullied at a deaf school, but to assume that...

@deafdyke - I've noticed crossovers too and I have also met completely deaf - Deaf people who I absolutely admire and am very jealous of. I grew up oral. My voice is the same as a hearing person's - that confuses (frustrates) many who think I can normally.
