sometime I have no clue why I have offended someone. I sometimes get annoyed because there is no explanation for why they are offended.

It's still a translation from one language to another. The words are very similar.

I also live in Toronto. There are places where you can take ASL courses. They're usually for people who want to be translators.

I want to learn about deafblindness. As person with hearing loss, losing my hearing along with my sight terrifies me.

People like me who do not have 'optimal' hearing often have loud voices. I guess it is annoying for others, but it seems like people who have slight hearing loss treated as pariahs based on the volume of their speech.

I can sleep through most natural disasters.

I'm hard of hearing. Because of that I prefer music that is not english. I enjoy that much more, the lyrics, which I have trouble understanding in english, become part of the music when I hear them in another language.

Thanks. I hope to be here a lot more. It's almost easier communicating with others on forums.

I have some hearing, yet I don't follow music. I prefer music in other languages because I don't have to worry about understanding the lyrics.

When I need to talk to a reference desk in order to find something in a library, I will usually have to speak to people who are within the designated 'quiet-areas'. I try to lower my voice a little, but it's never good enough. This problem leads people to believe that they have the right to...

I think that is as credible as African's coming to Central America. There is too much suppressed knowledge about African societies. The Olmec theory would be a great debate for high school students.

I've been looking at trans-atlantic travel from before Columbus. The most credible evidence I found is that West Africans contacted the Olmec culture.

I do want to apologize for the assumptions before. I miss out on a lot of conventions of respect. I'm really happy to know that mainstream people have the same issues as people with disabilities.

I've never actually had anyone who has been familiar with the disorder. I was set up with someone else who had it. I never heard back from them it's common from things like this.

Nope. Be honest, I'm not going to be ostracized because I do not relate to a level of hearing loss that requires interpreters?

I don't know if anyone would like to talk about internalized ableisim, or the school system.

I was born 27 years ago with this syndrome called charge which affects all of your senses. In addition, it makes your school and social life a complete challenge. This disorder involved hearing problems from birth. I can hear people from my right ear, but my left may as well be stuffed with...
