:wave: Welcome Rory! WTG on aggressively learning ASL!

Hey tigersharkdude :wave: I have been profoundly deaf for 4.5 yrs. I am now looking into cochlear implants but have limited the possibility for success by not researching (or being told by a med proff) to know that bacterial meningitis causes a calcification over the cochlea over time) My L...

I am so very sorry to read of your struggles. I can relate to some of what you are feeling. I buried my 17 yr old daughter, 4 family members & 3 of my closest friends at the same time period as going profoundly deaf from meningitis. hee hee I was told I did not mourn the loss of my hearing. hmmm...

Hey hohDougRN. I am profoundly deaf from meningitis a few years ago. It is unfortunate that the hospital and Drs that treated me did not provide me with pertinent info such as addressing cochlear implants sooner then later but 1 Dr did say something that stood out. He said he had worked with...

I had read that there are those in the deaf community that ostracize ppl with Cis. This info came from a CI mfg. It did note that it didnt necessarily apply to late-deafened as these ppl were not saying 1 community is better then the other, simply they ppl are naturally comfortable using the...

Is this chat room still being used?

<< bilateral deaf since Dec 25, 2006. Actually, a lil later; Jan 2007, when I recovered from a sickness. I am currently looking into CIs. I may not be a candidate. What is in your toolbox if I might ask?

Learning is fun. Knowledge is power! I look forward to learning.

hee hee oh yes. I think I am in limbo atm, being a late late deaf adult, English was my 1st language. I now have limited knowlege of ASL but love it and love the exposure to all languages in the world. Which one is grammatical correct .. hmmm? Kinda like what I grew up with of who has the...

Unfortunately, none of the above. I hope someday to have something in my toolbox. I like that word! I am trying now; baby steps. Some of what I have been told is disappointing. A lot that I have experienced outside in the real world has been discouraging (to put it mildy). It can seem...

CT is a beautiful place; all of New England is. We are in such a hurry in CT tho. Very fast paced.

Hey I meeemeber juuuu!! Thank you for coming this way. Can you help me find someone to chat with today? Preferably a late deafened adult

:wave: Hi I am AOS from CT. A late deafened adult from bacterial meningitus. A Christmas Gift 2007 I have spent the last few years on the PC with friends who do not know or remember I am deaf. It has been fun but it is time to leave the house more often. There are many situations I am unsure...

LOL @ felt cute like a puppy now, can I lick your hands?? Pls add: Pee on your foot??

Your dad "sounds" Old School. My father is similar. I am 44 yrs old and have yet to figure out how to communicate with him. There are days that I am bold enough to say, "I love you as you are father as you have taught me in life. Please continue to teach me and love me as I am" Unfortunately...
