I myself have gone to an Audiologist who stated clearly that I am profoundly deaf yet can't hear a thing. I went to an ENT yesterday Friday march 19th. I was playing a game "spin space monkey" on my texter. My husband talks to me, then I tell him what I think I heard. He writes down what he said...

Hello everyone: I actually did use the FM unit for two weeks before I just said no, no more. The problem stems simply because I had a hearing test 13 months ago and DSS, Deans, Instructors don't believe that anyone can lose the rest of their hearing so quickly. I took three hearing tests...

Hello everyone: Some of you know me from other threads. I have been having a nightmare of a time in this college. I'm just going to give a short version as I know everyone is busy. the college is trying to ban my service animal and me from campus. This has to do with me asking for disability...

Hello: My name is Michelena Boehmer: You can fit in with me. I coul use a friend or more. Remember you fit in everywhere you want to be. Don't try to be anyone but yourself and you'll do great. I'm newly deaf. At first felt trapped between two worlds, hearing and deaf. I too am taking ASL...

I'm very sorry you lost your hearing after being stable. Waking up deaf is scary since I gave myself a New Years gift of no hearing. I lost mine 2 1/2 months. It's wonderful that you learned sign, and your staff learning too. I've been learning some cold hard truth with the community college I...

I am a woman or I'm in the wrong body. : ) Sorry for the misspelled words. Yeah it could paranoia if I was the only one noticing these things. There have been surprise visitors, who do not know any history on myself or the class in order to get a true perspctive. Unfortunately these people...

Still trying to get help Now week 6 :wave: It is a hearing class. That's my biggest problem. Until Thursday, February 4 I had noticed Wednesday that my name & Bubba (Service Animal) was being fingerspelled. So I act like I see nothing. Then I noticed that they would sign derogatory...

Hello Bebonang: I spoke to the Instructor the first day. In fact before the semester started I explained it all to her. I told her I could not understand what is being said. The strangest part for me is when I found out it was required I watch & hear. I found out that my case manager with DVR...

Don't be hard on yourself I newly deaf. It's painful to be stuck between two worlds. I would suggest you start going to places like ASLPro.com Home Try to find others who are like yourself, thirsting for knowledge. Embrace both worlds as you have an opportunity to teach others what its like to...

Hi everyone: For myself I sit in clas watching, not hearing a darn thing. No peer note takers. Everyone declined. I could not use FM any longer since I couldn't hear. Some times I can piece together a word or two. I'm waiting for a scribe. Husband going dissability support to make them move...

Hello again Michelena Boehmer :lol: Hello everyone. Thank you for your warm welcome.:D The strange part is that I took papers in from the Audiologist showing them there is no hearing. Less than 10% in left ear. All the rest is gone. Because I returned the FM unit they want more proof. I...

I hope so. I have given the letters to the disability services. Now I wait 8 weeks for a note taker. The semester will be over by then. All of this makes me smile, if not I would cry. I am looking at it as a small hurdel.

Thank you. I ask the Lord to give me strength each day.
