I'm lost and finding myself here by starting over. Who wants to be the first to join my new journey?
 
Why do you think-"you are lost"?

What do think will be "advice of members - AllDeaf.com- based on one's prior experience" could be a starting on "new ways of thinking" for you?

I just wonder if they are deaf, or just another SAB fan who thinks they want to be deaf...

People who want to be deaf, simple solution: plug up the ears completely and go for a week with them in. I guarantee you they'll pop them right back out before the week is up and realize deafness really sucks.

:noway: I'm 5th generation deaf, and I love being silence in my whole life. When I tried to listen music with headphones or earplugs, I hate it (of course I don't understand what it says) but the sound itself is annoying. I feel sorry for hearing people to hear everything NON-STOP. :laugh2:

Well, I guess in that case I have the best of both world. I don't hear everything non-stop without the aids in, but I can always put some headphones on and blast some music and enjoy it.

But what I mean is that someone who is used to hearing who want to be deaf because they think it's a cool or fun challenge will be rudely awakened if they tried it for a week. They just won't be able to get used to it, not after being a hearing person most of their life. My vision went really bad in the past 5 years and it was really brutal, I couldn't cope with it. It wasn't until a medicine fixed it up that I fully realized how really bad it was to lose my vision like that. I wouldn't wish deafness on anyone who has experienced the hearing world normally, it'd be a huge challenge to adjust and cope.

I would rather had been born hearing , I think having to wear a HA to hear sink . I am not ashamed of being HOH , I just don't it's cool being HOH .
The OP seem to think people that come here are lost souls and found their way here.
 
You want to talk about something that sucks? Tinnitus sucks no matter what side of the fence your on deaf or hearing either one its a royal pain in the arse :mad2:

Yeah, for the most part I've learned to ignore it during the day, but when I go to bed at night, it is front and center and it's really difficult to fall asleep. Before the tinnitus kicked in two years ago I had a hard enough time falling asleep as it was, but now it's just a struggle. Thankfully there's melatonin, which seems to help most of the time. Better living through chemistry!

I get tinnitus from time to time but I would rather have that than getting vertigo again . I was not able to do anything when I had vertigo , I could not drive for awhile b/c I never know when would get an attack of it .


Matt , I learned ignore my tinnitus when I get it , and I will stay late and get so tried that will fall to asleep. I really think vertigo it worst .
 
Sounds like another blogger.
@ tinnitus; get all types of tinnitus sometimes unbearable, vertigo the works. Haha, I do the same thing to get to sleep. Melatonin is magic.
