Hey Anij, thanks for your prompt response! I recall having a bone conductor hearing aid (the headband style) when I was younger and it did improve my hearing. Of course as a kid I had way too many insecurities (didn't we all?) to go through school with it. However, now that I've grown up and...

I was born without an external ear structure and ultimately it affected my hearing, so I've always been hard of hearing. As of late, it's gotten exponentially worse and it's becoming more and more difficult to hear people when they're talking to me. I tend to get by off trying to read lips, but...

that'd be a hell of a doll if it could

Pats disgust me to every extent. One of my favorite football moments of all time was seeing Eli manning break out of that tackle and score on the patriots winning the superbowl, and I'm not even a huge Giants fan. Screw the pats. 99% of Patriot fans (were and are) bandwagon fans who only like...

^^ The only way I'd be able to communicate with a deafie is through writing stuff down. I don't know ASL. Ideally I'd probably like a hearie who knew ASL and could teach it to me. I was always hard of hearing but for the most part I didn't have too much trouble hearing people. It wasn't until...

It would be interesting to see both Saints and Indianapolis go into the superbowl as 2 undefeated teams but I'm a hardcore philadelphia fan and I want to see them win a superbowl sometime before I die. They have some key injuries right now but hopefully they'll have their team together by the...

anyone else around the tampa area?

Right now an Ipod costs $100. You can turn the volume up on your phone so it's essentially not much different than a hearing aid except it functions more like an FM unit. I don't know how much blue tooths cost but I know it isn't over 200.... meanwhile a hearing aid costs up to 6 grand and...

Hearing isn't a luxury; It's a sense that's absolutely vital in every day life. Yet for some reason the cost of a hearing aid runs about the same as a car. It's outrageous. If a cell phone that allows me to communicate with someone in fucking china for under $100 then there's absolutely no...

I didn't read through all the posts. I'm going to after I put in my 2 cents but here's my opinion.... hearing men tend to care only about looks. It's the foundation for their attraction. Most men are shallow...they won't date a girl who isn't pretty to their liking hearing women on the...

There's gotta be someone I can find and have a relationship with

I'm near SPC which I know has some ASL classes but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to register to a college just to learn one course for sign language.

I'm sort of broke at the moment or else I would. I have an entire list of expenditures I need to get out of the way and I haven't even paid off my credit card yet

Haven't heard of them but unfortunately I don't know ASL. I'm trying to find someone locally who might be able to teach me it but I just never bothered learning it up until now I started out when I was about 12 in middle school. Originally I was writing a lot of poems for this girl I had a...
