You will die waiting for it.

thanks Thanks to those who posted with kindness. I didnt know there was such a thing as hearing who dont sign and deaf with issues about those who dont sign, I would love to sign, I just dont know how. I will try to learn how to sign, and lurk here without creating disturbances or controversy...

I was not going to answer anymore, but I need to say thanks to diehardbiker. I am not out of work, I am sorry if that is what I implied, what i meant was I am trying to get a career change because of the pressure that I feel. I am a citizen because my husband is american. I can read lips in...

This is definitely not a place for me. You are right, English is not my first language, my hearing loss has been bad lately, that is why I call myself deaf. You are right I am not using the right terminology. Not only that, but it is also true that I wrote in panic mode while talking to my...

thanks for the replies. I am almost deaf on one ear, the other one is really low, but it helps me get by. I went to a really bad audiologist, I can tell because of the way she treated me, she told me my audiometry didnt make any sense because my speech is not impaired and for the length of time...

I am almost completely deaf on one ear, my audiologist said they would have to make me totally deaf on both ears to be able to use CI. I have also read that it only helps to recognize noises, not speech or music for example, and that they can be very uncomfortable, please please tell me...

thanks so much.

Thanks everyone for your kind answers. I guess if you have been deaf all your life it gets easier with time. I really dont know how to handle it and I am truly scared. My job doesnt have disability insurance, and I wont get a penny in social security, Tx teachers retirement system doesnt...

Does anyone know where i can learn ASL online and at a low cost, please? This is new to me, I am kind of lost. Thanks

I cant take the pressure anymore. I wasnt born deaf, it is really hard to adjust when it comes to you this late. I do think i need a career change. But thanks for the opinion.

thanks so much for your reply, do you know how I can find the forum for the late deafened? I am a teacher, and I need a career change, but all i find is jobs that dont pay me what me and my husband need to survive, he has MS so we really need me to keep up the salary. Any resources here or...

thanks for explaining

I am a teacher who has become almost deaf as an adult. I need to find some resources, or help to go on with my life, I am terribly depressed, I dont know what to do with my life as I am the one who makes the most income at home. We dont have kids, husband is disabled. We have spent the last 11...
