Hi, I am totally deaf in my left ear and profoundly deaf in my right. I am able to get by with 1 superpower H.A and lip reading. Without the h.a. I am unable to hear anything. When people ask me about my hearing I say Im deaf but they get confused because I can hold a close up conversation...

Well, if it helps, I'm 53 and never learned sign. I did teach myself the alphabet but not having any deaf friends ... well...use it or lose it. I don't get practice. I really would like to learn sign and use it. But there are not any resources in palm springs. I try to get to know people...

Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your post. I am totally deaf in my left ear and profound in my right . I get by with an aid. (yes...they get more expensive every time.) Im currently in a Starkey AGX super power. Its good with lots of clarity, no feedback and most of the time I...

I do have to say this: I was at a Starbucks about a year ago and went through the drive through. I was excited to see that on the screen that you order was a live video of an ASL interpreter! It made my day. I could lip read her. (my sign is not great). But then a couple of months later they...

I'm in Palm Springs

A very valid question. Ive been turned down for bartending,Wall Street Broker call center and fast food because of my hearing. It's all pretty to say nothing should hold you back from your dreams. Now back to reality. I'm 53 and still trying. Its really about who you know and if they are...

So... I haven't been around much lately. I'm usually the guy at the party that will make sure its a safe place by holding up the wall. With that said - I don't have a lot of friends or much of a social life. I'm 53 - hey that is young in Palm Springs! I work out at World Gym. I don't go...

I've recently relocated to the Palm Springs area. Wondering if there is a larger gay / deaf population? Left ear- deaf Right ear profound - get by barly with aid and still learing sign. Wondering who else is out there?? Chuck

Hello Everybody. I'm in the process of moving to Palm Springs, CA. This is like a dream to me. But I'm a little worried and looking for thoughts/advice. First a little background of me. Im in my 40s and have worn a hearing aid all of my life. I am totally deaf in my left ear. Severe to...

Hi everybody - I got a question about cell phones. I just got a Sprint Moment and I can hear fine on it in the Tcoil but I can't hear myself talk. I wear a Naida H.A. Thus...Im literally shouting into the phone - even though I cant hear myself. I used to have a Sprint Rumor and it...

Ok... I have returned the Naida III. Just before I returned it...I tried to give it one last chance. Guess what: It died. I don't know what happened but it just gave out. I've decided not to go for the Naida V because I can't afford the $2,500.00. My audie wants me to try a more powerful...

Im thinking... what in the world should I do this weekend. I dont want monday to come.

I was an angel...a pure angel.... (with horns)

Never played the piano... I cant read notes. Now...if you put numbers on the piano and put numbers in the music. I had an organ when I was a kid with numbers....the only thing I remember is Silent night...holy night.... da da daaaaa
