Hi! I'm a 16 year old Malaysian student; I have been profoundly deaf all my life. I wear hearing aids and I speak and lipread. Now I study on scholarship at the Lester B Pearson United World College (in Canada) doing the IB, where all the other students are hearing.
AllDeaf came up when I ran a Google search for sites for the deaf community. i'm interested in meeting other deaf people to share information and talk to.. i want to make more friends in the deaf community!
I've been hard of hearing since the age of 5, wear one hearing aid on my left ear, and I, too, can speak and lipread just like you.
Glad you've found out about this site via Google. When you have a chance, please make your selection on how you heard about AllDeaf by going to http://www.alldeaf.com/showthread.php?t=9470
