Hello,
For purposes of anonymity, my name is Huscurian, a HOH person from Corpus Christi, TX. I classify myself as HOH, despite my profound deafness, by the classification that deaf culture placed on me. Such strict standards of deaf culture had to be adhered to to prevent any confusion among other deafs.
I am not an avid ASL user, is a oral-speaking, lip-reading person who has been in a mainstream environment, culturally hearing, and have lived among the hearing people very much my entire life. A small indulgence of seeing, hanging out with deaf people have been undertaken, but since then, I have remained largely in the hearing world.
I may sound arrogant, prickly, or high-minded; I'm not because I introduce myself as I am. Otherwise, I'm showing different shades of Huscurian. I signed up to AllDeaf.com not because of the community that was set up here but because I seek answers to some of my burning questions. Questions that may be answered on different viewpoints without partiality, without favoritism. I will accept both the view of hearing people as I will accept the view of deaf people when it comes to my question but largely my opinion is formed based on my assessment of the data.'
I'm Huscurian and I hope my questions can be answered.
