I can see there are four groups with same issue of hearing loss but they all have culture clash.
how funny is that?

Deaf ferrets would like to know what all those groups are all about. Either we are deaf or not.
Odd: haven't had anything to do AGBell,HLAA or ALDA- have I missed something?
Aside: I have been involved with Canadian Hearing Society/Toronto re Coping/dealing with Hearing loss classes since 1992 to 2006.

I think it's pretty sad. You'd think it's be something to unify us....apparently that is not the case.I can see there are four groups with same issue of hearing loss but they all have culture clash.

X2, I have asked before why DrPhil spends so much time posting here on a Culturally Deaf Forum when the Culturally hearing forms for people with hearing loss probably outnumber Deaf ones by 100 to 1 or moreHLAA and ALDA might actually be more to your liking. Not that we don't want you here.....but they tend to focus on hearing health style stuff....which i think might be more to your liking.
drphil said:I believe it is safe to say-a small device: Cochlear Implant has had a huge impact on how some DEAF persons "deal with" the fact of DEAFness.
This didn't happen with Hearing aids which don't help the "DEAF".
