I have a red coated and white spot on the chest.

I know, I was just a kid, I didn't want to explain. I want them to know that I am hearing, not deaf. Now, I always explain to them and I didn't have any problem with that. I was just wondering is there anyone have done it before. That's doesn't mean that I still hide the CI. I wear the ponytail...

Have you guys ever tried to hide your cochlear implant? When I was a kid, out the public, I hid my cochlear implant by letting my long har down because I didn't want soembody comes up and say "what's that?" then I had to explain it to them. Also the other reason was that it was annoying that...

Was it because they didn't listen to you or they didn't even let you try out the regular classes? I have had a hard time in the mainstream english class in my freshmen year but got an C grade. In that time, my english (reading and writing) level was around 6th or 7th grade. But from what I am...

Yeah, you are right. For example, I have first met one little girl who was about four years old, she was born deaf and her vision started to get worse way before when she was ten. That's probably would be type 1B. There are genes that doctors can figure out which genes that you have and then...

What do you mean?

Usher Syndrome type one means that when you are born profoundly deaf in both ears, starting to have a nightblindness at about ten years old, also have a poor balance. There are three different types. Type two means that when you are born hard of hearing in both ears, starting to have vision...

I REALLY hated going to IEP meetings and fighting for the regular diploma for four years! These IEP stuffs always wanted me to have a stupid modifined diploma, all because they want money and they didn't think that i can make it through the mainstream classes. Well, I did! When I graduated, I...

Public School OR Deaf School...Which one do you prefer? There are some pros and cons about public schools and deaf schools. Being at the deaf school, you can socialize with many deaf people. At the public schools, you can make friends and teach many hearing people. The bad part about public...

I am curious who have usher syndrome type one?

In the past, I have hid my hearing loss or the cochlear implants because I feel like I don't want to scare hearing people off. But now, everytime I first meet the hearing people, I just tell them that i am deaf and they stayed and chatted with me. :)

I went to deaf oral school for about 13 years, then went to public middle school for one year, after that, went to public high school for four years.

i don't have any friends who have Australian Terrier as I do. I want to meet somebody who have that breed of dog. I have a three years old Australian Terrier, his fur is red, rough coated, very engertic, very protective with my family. Australian Terrier is very rare breed and that's why i don't...

I really think it is ONE world for all of us inculding the hearing people.

It is worth for me because I am losing my vision, also having two CI helps me to locate the sounds. I think it is worthy for any deaf people who have one CI and thinking of getting 2nd CI because it will help them to hear little bit better and be able to locate the sounds right away.
