And if so, what to do about general conference/yw conference, etc? I missed the general yw meeting, and the vids on LDS.org, don't have captions! I can watch conference with captioning on my TV, but I don't have it on lds.org. You'd think they'd make that more accessible, unless there's a...

and thanks everyone. :3 I think I have a slight understanding now. hahaha.

I'm thinking my first ear moulds will be blue and green swirls. :D and the actual hearing aids are going to be beige. Lol. We decided I should learn ASL because it's progressive and I'm becoming more (d)Deaf every day. :P

Thanks everyone :) I am starting to really get into the swing of things. I have my second ever Deaf community event on saturday! It will be amazing. haha. and I'm getting my hearing aids too! (I found that out today.) Anyway, so back on subject.. my parents have problems culturally and...

Thanks guys. I was just curious. So you're saying that, even though I am medically Hard of Hearing, I can still technically be culturally deaf? The thing is, when you tell someone "I'm hard of hearing" you get the old people treatment. Where the hearing person will sit there and mouth everything...

I just recently found out in november that I'm hard of hearing. I have a few questions. (by the way, yes I'm learning ASL, and at this point can have a full conversation AND have an interpreter ...) anyway. So I'm about to be 16 at the end of this week. Question one: would you consider this...

I have the same situation as you, almost exactly ! I'm fifteen and started noticing my hearing loss in november, but apparentally it's genetic. before then I had a lot of tinnitus (for as long as I can remember... ) but I'm Mormon and i don't drink caffeine, so my audiologist kind of had a...

thanks so much :]

white panel colour with pink font colour ! :D I love my closed captioning. :)

I'm glad I found out! Also, I am now carrying full conversations with Deaf friends and ASL students, I'm working on getting an interpreter (but it's rather hard, the school system is full of hearing people who probably think I'm lying because my speech is so "normal" or I "sound hearing"). I'm...

Guys... I discovered today, the cause of my hearing loss. :D It actually was not genetic. My mother forgot to mention to my Audiologist and ENT that when I was a baby, my temperature got dangerously high and I had to go to the hospital. We just realised that she never told them. and I never...

I don't know, honestly. I think because I've never had a hearing test before, and because it was flat tones. We're pretty sure I was born H/H, but I'm getting more deaf (for lack of a better phrase) as I get older.

I do talk to my CODA friend's parents. Quite often, actually. I like this advice. ^.^

Thanks, guys. ^.^ I enjoy all of these sweet, inspiring responses and tips. I'm enjoying this community already.

I have gone to see an ENT. The ENT informed me that it was genetic, and I was born hard of hearing. We also assume that it's getting worse, since it's becoming more noticeable. We'll find out in six months whether or not it's becoming worse. Using ASL, is something I am ok with. I can have a...
