Hi Vertbatim - I live in Dallas, Texas as well. Are you hearing or deaf?

I am at the point where I do not hear my voice, the shower if my hearing aid is out. I hsve good speech due to good hearing in my left ear as a child but my ex gf she is the opposit (and likr many other oral deaf people I have met). It always pisses meoff when I hear someobe struggling with...

HI artr - I am new here too. I am 26 years old deaf in my right ear with hearing loss in my left that degrades over time - not so quickly like yours. Hearing aids are pretty cool if you ask me (though I've worn them my whole life).

Welcome, I am new here as well!

I like the similarities! Gre up in a suburb of dallas. Blows my mind my parents did not investigate the other side - with the resources in the surrounding area...

Jason, I am new but welcome back. What type of hearing loss do you have?

I agree wishing does not change but the lessons we have recieved through experience is cruical and could position us to be able to help others. Dhh programs that I went towere too little and insufficent to really build the self confidence and social skills needed to grow.

Im new too. I had good enough hearing as a child that I was picking up speech and developed a "normal" (quotes as to what us truly normal?) Voice. My ex girlfriend has an implant and she had a "deaf" voice. My experiences with hearing loss is that everything sounds as it should and I will meet...

Hi steffie nice to meet you. I think it is good that you sign with your kid!

@ chicagoblue - yeah ut can be psycholigical a bit as it goes so slow. @derek - parents are from skokie I belueve they went to siu @lissa - nuce to meet you! Thank you for saying hello.

@ Chicago Blue - I hate the feeling of losing the left ear too. I feel like it goes too slow

I want to correct myself - the approach would be to find an education that fits. I meant that if its a challenging situation like mainstream school I would probably change that to deaf school (seen as most impractical given family situation) or do something highly supplementary like using a sign...

NYNY - Deaf in right ear due to CMV related loss at birth. This was before screening so was not picked up (nor the virus) until I was about 4 years of age. Hearing loss in the left ear is sensorneural (sp). Severe to profound. (started out mild to moderate). I did lip reading in middle -...

I'm new to the fourm - I haven't participated in one of these for years but the whole Hearing - Deaf school concept is a huge issue for me. I grew up through the hearing schools and was bullied mercilessly. It may be true that you would be bullied at a deaf school, but to assume that...

@deafdyke - I've noticed crossovers too and I have also met completely deaf - Deaf people who I absolutely admire and am very jealous of. I grew up oral. My voice is the same as a hearing person's - that confuses (frustrates) many who think I can normally.

I studied Deaf Ed at Stephen F. Austin State University although I did not complete it.

Thanks. I haven't joined a message board in years and never have joined one for hearing loss. Thank you for the welcomes and its nice to know that there are others out there who immediately get what I am saying.

Hi, my name is Aaron. I live in Texas although my family is from Illinois. I am deaf in my right ear and hearing loss in my left. I grew up mainstream/oral/hearing culture but had many challenges with it (there was no other hard of hearing or deaf playmate...) I hope to be able to find...
