My name is JenMarie, I'm from Illinois (Chicago suburb) and was born with damaged nerves in my ear. As time went on the nerves became more damaged (from noise mostly). I usually was able to fake most of my hearing tests (raising my hand when I saw the person push the button eventhough I didn't hear the sound) as a kid. My first hearing aids were at 16, but I was so embarrassed. I am now 32 and don't care who sees them, but I feel so isolated because I miss so much conversation.
Lately people are sick of having to watch movies with CC but they don't want them too loud either. I am teaching myself ASL and LOVE it, but need to find other deaf and HOH (is that the right sign for Hard of hearing?) people to really understand how it is used. Well, that's me.
I am just looking for some friends to talk about things that no one else around here really gets.
