    Captioned Media Program

    I love that site! I signed up and can now borrow videos that are either captioned or in ASL. They mail them to me for free, I watch them, and send them back postage paid. Totally awesome if you ask me!

Currently my left hear has a 68% loss and my right ear has a 75% loss in hearing however I can still speak well. Once in a while people tell me not to talk so loud and I didnt realize...

    "slowly" approaching deafness

    Thank you all for your warm welcomes. I don't know what my immediate plans are actually. For so long, I have been able to get by pretending to understand when I really didn't. I would get the majority of a sentence and then just put it together and did reasonably well. Many years back, I learned...
