I am just curious. Does something like that exist? I guess you could go with earplugs but that doesn't really make you "profoundly" deaf. Anybody know of something that does that?

I know Children of a Lesser God, and Mr. Holland's Opus, and one or two others. But anybody else got some names of movies with deaf people or about deaf culture?

I'm just wondering, for those of you whose first language is sign, do you dream in sign as well? I mean, I suppose you would, especially if it is your first language. But if you can hear a little, do you have sound in your dreams as well? Or if you are able to hear or speech read and sign, do...

Remember, you need a degree to fly a plane but only a diploma to fix one. After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then...

What is a polite way to get a deaf/hoh person's attention? Especially if you are in a crowded room? Obviously I wouldn't be throwing anything at them or stomping on the ground (especially in a public place). Is it polite to get somewhere in their line of vision and just wave your hand? or put...

These are just some poems I've written. Some of them are older, some of them I've written recently. I'd like to get your feedback on them! I know there are a lot of them, you don't have to read all of them if you don't want:) Her Great Mind She is just a child, just a sweet little...

Say you are in a store with a friend and you are signing with eachother. And lets say that the cashier you go to knows a little bit of sign language, simple phrases like "hello" "goodbye" "thank you", etc... she noticed that you two were signing so she uses a few of the signs she knows while you...

I'm a hearing person but I've known and heard of so many people who were deaf, as in completely or almost completely non hearing, whose parents never bothered to learn sign language. I guess I understand if the child is hoh to a certain extent they can understand oral language well, but when the...

I am a hearing person, so please excuse me if this sounds ignorant or stupid. I am truly just curious. I have only been learning ASL for 9 months or so, I am nowhere near fluent! But my question is, do most deaf or hoh people watch television? If so, how useful do you find the captions? I know...
