Recently, I was eating lunch at a "fast food" restaurant near the Deaf Church I have been attending. Another Deaf lady and I were having a conversation in Sign and I was paying attention to that and not the "murmurings" of the Hearing people around us talking. (Kind of just sounds like a bunch...

I got involved with a "Biblical Storytelling" group at a (Hearing) church in my area. People memorize Scripture portions and then present it in a sort of dramatic type fashion. (As opposed to just reading it from a lectionary or a Bible.) Anyway, the leader of this group told me about a website...

Yesterday, I went to a Deaf Church. I had visited there several times before. People were always friendly and welcoming. But, I never felt like I "really" belonged. Or if going to a Deaf church was the "right" thing for me. But, yesterday, I went the service and realized that I understood nearly...

Yesterday, I was informed that "there is no such thing as Deaf culture." By someone who is a mother to a Deaf (deaf?) daughter. I was told that her daughter is "more hearing-impaired" than I am. She had indicated previously that her daughter used an interpreter and so I naturally assumed that...

I feel like nothing I do is ever good enough to please my parents. They can't even sign "ILY." I feel SO rejected, like it is "not okay" to live as a Deaf/HOH person. I don't see what the "big deal" is, especially with my mother. It's like she is afraid for me to succeed, or something. I was...

I just got new HAs last Friday and I just LOVE them! And I am NOT worried about anyone seeing them. I am not ashamed of my hearing loss anymore. I firmly identify as HOH now, and I am very comfortable with myself.:wave:

I have some fluctuating conductive loss in my righ ear and a "flat 25-30 dB" loss in my left ear. I went to see an ENT, who talked so loud I could NOT understand much of anything he said. Then, I got an "ABR," which is suppossedly "normal." The audiologist made disparaging remarks about me...

I have decided to liveas a HOH person. Today is my "Deaf Birthday." No more "broken Hearing person." Hard Of Hearing and PROUD:wave: I have accepted myself as I am.:D

I have been thinking about some things for several months. I have been asking people, "What did you say?" a LOT. I started having problems hearing people...maybe...2,3,4...years ago. Who knows? My audiogram used to be just about perfect. Well, now it ain't so hot. My loss isn't so bad. Some is...

I have a condition called (C)APD. I read on the internet that it is a "physical hearing impairment." I scored at the FIRST PERCENTILE on a test battery recently. I also have some conductive loss (seems to come and go/get better or worse). The audiologist who diagnosed me with APD wrote up a...

I have been REFUSED a hearing aid consult after I was told I would get one. I even had a terp come! This audiologist said my hearing was "normal" and said I only had "a few delays" (with my other hearing problem). I thought I was promised help to get at least an FM system, but she did not even...
