    Process of getting a hearing aid

    Hey Anij, thanks for your prompt response! I recall having a bone conductor hearing aid (the headband style) when I was younger and it did improve my hearing. Of course as a kid I had way too many insecurities (didn't we all?) to go through school with it. However, now that I've grown up and...

    Process of getting a hearing aid

    I was born without an external ear structure and ultimately it affected my hearing, so I've always been hard of hearing. As of late, it's gotten exponentially worse and it's becoming more and more difficult to hear people when they're talking to me. I tend to get by off trying to read lips, but...

    The 2009/10 NFL Thread

    Pats disgust me to every extent. One of my favorite football moments of all time was seeing Eli manning break out of that tackle and score on the patriots winning the superbowl, and I'm not even a huge Giants fan. Screw the pats. 99% of Patriot fans (were and are) bandwagon fans who only like...

    Any deaf dating sites?

    ^^ The only way I'd be able to communicate with a deafie is through writing stuff down. I don't know ASL. Ideally I'd probably like a hearie who knew ASL and could teach it to me. I was always hard of hearing but for the most part I didn't have too much trouble hearing people. It wasn't until...

    The 2009/10 NFL Thread

    It would be interesting to see both Saints and Indianapolis go into the superbowl as 2 undefeated teams but I'm a hardcore philadelphia fan and I want to see them win a superbowl sometime before I die. They have some key injuries right now but hopefully they'll have their team together by the...

    Why is it hearing aids cost so much?

    Right now an Ipod costs $100. You can turn the volume up on your phone so it's essentially not much different than a hearing aid except it functions more like an FM unit. I don't know how much blue tooths cost but I know it isn't over 200.... meanwhile a hearing aid costs up to 6 grand and...

    Why is it hearing aids cost so much?

    Hearing isn't a luxury; It's a sense that's absolutely vital in every day life. Yet for some reason the cost of a hearing aid runs about the same as a car. It's outrageous. If a cell phone that allows me to communicate with someone in fucking china for under $100 then there's absolutely no...

    Hearing women dating deaf/HoH men

    I didn't read through all the posts. I'm going to after I put in my 2 cents but here's my opinion.... hearing men tend to care only about looks. It's the foundation for their attraction. Most men are shallow...they won't date a girl who isn't pretty to their liking hearing women on the...

    I'm a rapper, hopefully nobody minds me posting my music here

    I'm near SPC which I know has some ASL classes but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to register to a college just to learn one course for sign language.

    I'm a rapper, hopefully nobody minds me posting my music here

    I'm sort of broke at the moment or else I would. I have an entire list of expenditures I need to get out of the way and I haven't even paid off my credit card yet

    I'm a rapper, hopefully nobody minds me posting my music here

    Haven't heard of them but unfortunately I don't know ASL. I'm trying to find someone locally who might be able to teach me it but I just never bothered learning it up until now I started out when I was about 12 in middle school. Originally I was writing a lot of poems for this girl I had a...

    I'm a rapper, hopefully nobody minds me posting my music here

    If you're gonna check out my music, the first song you should listen to is called "Put It Down" which is on my myspace: MySpace - PurleeDef - 20 - Male - SAINT PETERSBURG, FLORIDA - myspace.com/purleedef but here's a more personal song which involves talking about my disability but this...

    Any deaf dating sites?

    To be honest I'm tired of being single but I struggle to connect with people since I'm hard of hearing and miss a lot of vital information in the conversations. At the same time I don't know any deaf people locally and I don't know ASL either. Ideally I'd like to find a girl who I could date...
