Can you explain a little bit more about your inability to "hear your own voice"? I also have a deaf accent, am HoH in the profound category, but I can hear my voice when I talk. When I speak, I can feel the vibration in my head and also hear my voice. Can you not hear your voice when you...

Hi all, I'm HoH, so when I tell people that I am heard of hearing, I like to add some humor to it to show that I'm confident with my "disability". Anyone have any good witty one-liners or jokes that they use to ease the topic of discussion?

I can try...any others? Really, a good one-liner about my disability works wonders and sets the mood for the rest of the conversation. Personally, I love people that poke fun at their handicaps or whatever shortcomings they may have in life.

That was a quote from the famous poet and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. I'm HoH and thus I am nervous around women, especially ones I'm attracted to. Recently, I began to start doing the things I fear in order to gain more confidence in meeting new people. I am taking a dance class (two...

I'm 31 and I have a "deaf accent", too. I can hear...but I guess not good enough, lol. I'm good looking, so have no problem attracting the opposite sex...but once i start talking, they flee. :deaf:

Please explain mor eabout the "diet and exercise" part. Are you making up for your deafness by looking good physically? I agree. It does help, however, it only gets you to the door..but then you gotta answer it and that's where I have a hard time.

I did not know that. Thank you so much for explaining it to me. Now it makes sense.

Oh, ok. That makes sense. I wish I could delete my post then.

Hi all, I was born with severe hearing loss. Just slightly more on the HoH category than deaf, according to clinical measurements (80-85db range). I wore HAs in elementary school, but they did not help at all, so ditched them shortly after 6th grade and never went back...until 2 years ago at...

Does being deaf also affect how you compose and write sentences? I see a lot of bad grammar in this forum and am wondering how deafness plays in that. I am HoH/Deaf myself, but have never seen the level of run-on sentences/incoherent sentence composition like I see here. I would have...

Just saw this thread. I was born with severe hearing loss in the 85db category. I'm now 32, but I never knew I was classified as "deaf" until I got an audiogram the other day for some hearing aids. I always struggled with speech and hearing in school and social situations. I also have the "deaf...

Yea, many people that have excellent voices actually hate their voices, especially when they hear themselves on tape/video. There are even celebrities that do not watch their own movies due to this.

I'm just not sure if I'm hearing my voice.
