Thank you everyone! I'm hard of hearing and started learning ASL a year and a half ago (although I'm not in a class now because I don't have access to one anymore) and I'm doing a presentation on Deaf culture in my World Thought and Culture class on Friday and I wanted to start out by signing...

Hi all. So when I see people sign "deaf", some sign going from the ear to the mouth and some sign from the mouth to the ear. I think my ASL teacher taught ear to mouth and that's how I always signed it and she never told me I was wrong. But signing savvy signs mouth to ear. Is this just...

I have super thin hair so length doesn't really make a difference. But some companies ask and I have heard about managers getting upset. I have a job but I'm currently looking for another job. Sent from my SM-G900V using AllDeaf App mobile app

I'm trying to get a hearing aid but I don't think my level of hearing loss is enough to be considered a disability. It's somewhere between 60 and 70 decibels in my left ear only. I'm worried when I get one and say I don't have a disability when applying for jobs, I'll get in trouble when my boss...

I took ASL my senior year but my local community college doesn't offer ASL. But I can check the library Sent from my SM-G900V using AllDeaf App mobile app

Yeah, but then complicated sentences just make no sense and I have no idea how to construct them. Sent from my SM-G900V using AllDeaf App mobile app

Would anyone be willing to tutor me on ASL grammar? It seems so simple but I still get confused. Probably because it's so different from English and English is my first language. Or does anyone know good resources (free) that explain it past simple sentences like I'm going to the store?

Hi, I'm 19, HOH and learning ASL. I'd love to chat with you. Do you use Skype?

I've heard Deaf events have a lot of bumping into people which is my biggest concern. If I tell people about my sensory issues they are usually good about touching me. I would feel most comfortable talking to people in an open area. If people know, they are usually understanding but it's the...

Hearing people attitudes have really been bugging me lately. Perhaps because I've become more involved online and seen more ignorant hearing people. I've decided to write a piece on deafness and why hearing people should care. But as to not speak over people who are more severely deaf then me...

I'm a hoh person learning ASL. I lost most of my hearing in my left hear at 7 and still live as a hearing person. I started learning ASL because it's always been an interest and my school offered it starting my senior year. I also have sensory issues due to my genetic disorder and hate being...

I mean I function well as a mostly hearing person because my right ear doesn't have any loss. It's just annoying when people seem to think hoh people hear basically nothing and can't follow conversations at all. There's different degrees of it and every hoh/Deaf person is different. Sent from...

Yes, exactly. Like am I supposed to be dumb? I just can't hear very well out of one hear. I didn't know there was a certain way I'm supposed to be. The worst is when someone says something to me on my bad side and they think I'm ignoring them.

I'm only hoh in my left ear but I function pretty well as a mostly hearing person. I just never realized how annoyed people can be over asking for a repeat. I just want to clarify that I heard you right. I've gotten pretty good at figuring out words I barely hear in loud environments. I don't...

I sometimes have to have people repeat at work (I work at Chuck E Cheese. It's hella loud) and some people get unnecessarily annoyed. Sent from my SM-G900V using AllDeaf App mobile app

I started learning sign my senior year (last year) when my school offered ASL for the first time. I really want to continue learning but my college doesn't have ASL. I go to a very small private Christian college and there's not a ton of electives. My area has sign classes for the community but...

So when I tell people I'm hard of hearing their response is usually along the lines of saying that I don't seem like I'm hard of hearing. Does this happen to anyone else? I just want to facepalm everytime. Like I'm hoh, not deaf. I can hear. Just not as well as you. Why is that so difficult to...

Thank you all so much! I'm glad hearing aids can help me. I really don't want to get a CI but I will if needed. I'm not against them so long as parents teach their deaf children asl and don't keep them from the deaf community. Just the idea of a major surgery as if I haven't has enough in my...

I am hard of hearing and have been since I was 7 (surgery caused 60% hearing loss in my left ear). We've never gotten me a hearing aid because of the ridiculous price and insurance not covering it. Recently my hearing has become more of an issue especially at my job (Chuck E Cheese) with lots of...

This year, I started learning sign language because it was the first year that my school offered it. I'm graduating this year and want to continue learning sign. I looked up classes in my community but it's too expensive. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced book that can help me learn more...
