    If your native language is ASL, I have questions for you!

    Life print has a list of 100 signs they feel are the top 100 used signs. It may be a good place to start.

    How can I expose my baby to sign language if I don't speak it? (in Philadelphia)

    Prefer deaf or HOH or hearing?

    I am hearing and I wish I could spend even a day with the exact loss my daughter has. I would understand more what she deals with and what it's like.

    Mom worried about her son's hearing

    I also disagree. My daughter was late identified (15 months). She has moderate-severe high frequency loss and passed the newborn hearing screening after 3 attempts. We were told that she had fluid in her ears from birth and if that fluid had cleared and she passed there was no issue. Fluid...

    How can you communicate if 100%deaf

    It's a shame that some people get run off by a certain few of people, even though some people truly need advice. Maybe she was wondering if hearing loss progresses quickly and she doesn't have time enough to learn ASL how would she communicate in the mean time? Same thing happened to me...

    Would this be 'normal'??

    I think it sounds wonderful and very personal. I think you not only have an idea for this Christmas but maybe started a brand new Christmas tradition.

    Help from mothers

    Get a maternity support stretch band. It's a lifiesaver. It gently supports your belly and back. Good luck and congrats!

    Work of Art: The Next Great Artist

    I don't know if anyone watches this show. It's my guilty pleasure! Anyhow, there's a guy on the show who is deaf and uses ASL and an interpreter. There are basically no deaf people on television so I think it's awesome.

    Hiding the hearing loss....

    I will always encourage my daughter not to hide her hearing loss from anyone. I hope the way I am towards her hearing aids (calling them her pretty ears, encouraging her to show them to family and friends when she gets new stickers put on, putting hair up most of the time, being excited for new...

    Deaf School or Oral School?

    I would encourage you to put her in a deaf school. You will be providing her with a education where she will be able to use ASL and not have gaps in her learning from struggling to learn using her weakest sense (hearing). You will also be providing her with security (going to school with...

    Just a question...

    Okay, I get it now. I haven't seen her around and the "Free Jillio" thing was a bit worrisome. I hope this thread isn't treading up old drama. That was not my intention.

    Just a question...

    I'm wondering what all the "Free Jillio" signatures are about? Has something happened to her? Is she okay?

    Would appreciate an opinion

    It should be taken down since the subject of the picture is uncomfortable with it. I wouldn't have a problem with it but if the person does, the once who posted it should respect that.

    How do I get my loved ones to remember that I'm losing my hearing?

    It's a hard thing for us "hearing" to get used to but when you make the effort it can happen very quickly. There's one thing I did, and this might sound crazy to you guys but it helped me understand. I bought a pair of ear plugs that block sound. I think they take everything down by 40-50...
