I have been losing hearing due to age and genetics. I still score as hearing on the free online hearing tests, but I am having more and more difficulty socializing with the signing-impaired. Wondering if there are hearing aids for the mostly hearing?

I know you can set up group chats on Glide, but it can get overwhelming if there's a lot of chatty people in it. Know of any Deaf group video chats?

I just tried Glide a few days ago for my iPhone and at first it looked like a great app - very fast and convenient, until I realized it sends your message out to EVERYONE ON YOUR PHONE, along with a solicitation to join! App FAIL. Anyone have any iPhone apps for instant video messaging?

My ASL teacher says there is a difference between signing WRONG (not as the opposite of right, but to indicate an unexpected occurrence) and WRONG signed with a twist, also to indicate an unexpected occurrence. She says some of the Signing Naturally examples are incorrect, yet can't explain the...

I can understand signing just fine if I can read lips as people are signing. But of course with true ASL, there is very little English mouthing. Any tips on how to improve reading real ASL?

I'm curious how many Deaf can recognize that another person is Deaf even if that person is not signing. Is it in the eyes? The mouth? Something else?

A student in my ASL class gave a presentation recently on sexual terms, and signed dildo as FAKE+PENIS. While I understand why, I'm wondering if there is a more lesbian-centric or feminist sign for it? Preferably one that doesn't use the signs FAKE or PENIS, because there's nothing fake...

When sign language was banned as a result of the Milan Conference, what sorts of punishment were exacted on people who were caught signing? Sources?

Do any exist?

The thread was closed before I could respond. Frisky Feline, I looked at the friend and made some sort of frantic "interpret" sign combined with spoken "Will you??" Thanks for your support. It was a very painful experience.

I love performers who sign (e.g., Sean Forbes, TL Forsberg) but I know that some Deaf people don't understand them because it's not ASL. Is it possible to sign in pure ASL whilst singing? I am told that it is difficult or impossible to sign ASL whilst speaking English. But for a song that one...

I'm doing a presentation on Deaf music/musicians and my instructor thought it would be interesting to include the other side - the view that music is a product of a hearing society, one that has long discriminated against Deaf people. I'm looking for any references to audism and music - news...

Anyone have any pos/neg reviews of this DVD on ASL grammar? I am searching for a DVD on sentence structure and this is one of the few I could find. If anyone has any recommendations, do post! ASL Grammatical Aspects DVD: ASL/PSE Grammar & Sentence Structure Products for Deaf, Hard of Hearing...

Can anyone lend a hand translating this into ASL sentence structure? "Our study group has met twice so far." Using OSV, is it Twice so far our study group meet?

If you sign Hi, how are you to someone (deaf) and they just reply Fine and don't ask how you are, is that considered rude or just part of deaf culture?

Hi AD! Good to find yous. :) I'm hearing (although not as hearing as I used to be)...My parents are HoH but have arthritis so they haven't been interested in learning ASL. I am fascinated by it and am taking classes so that if I should be HoH one day I will still be able to communicate, and...
