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'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...

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?

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 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...

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...

I have to sign the Gallaudet and Clerc story for my ASL 1 class. We have a DVD with videos and the story is on there and we have to video ourselves signing it. The guy signs kinda fast and it's a little difficult because some of the signs are new. Can anyone help with this in any way? My video...

I haven't been on here in a while and I feel bad. I want to make more friends on here, so I'm going to try and go on more. I've just been really busy with school and track and church. Anywho. Lately, I've been quite frustrated. I have about 60 or 70% hearing loss in my left ear. (Not sure. My...

Hi! I'm taking my first year of sign language and would love to have someone to practice with via Skype or FaceTime or something.

I have hearing loss in my left ear and it's lately been causing more and more issues functioning in the hearing world. I have considered hearing aids but I always thought they'd be a pain and cause ear pain because of my genetic disorder (which makes my nerves more sensitive and has caused...

I am learning ASL this year and will most likely be attending my first deaf even tonight (if I can pay the $11, I'm not sure yet). I'm really nervous since I don't know alot of sign yet. Does anyone have any tips?

Hi, I'm Bethany. I am learning ASL this year. I am hearing but I only have 30 or 40% (not really hearing) in my left ear. I really want to get to know some people in the community so I can stay connected after the school year. :wave:
