I was just online searching for something about this - I too get itchy ears a lot (I wear BTE hearing aids in both ears for all my waking hours!), and I too get so desperate to itch my ears that I use either a Q-tip/cotton bud, or my finger! :roll: Apparently its not good to do those, and I...

Hello! My name is Kate, and I am 26 years old. I live in Sydney, but I was born and raised in Dubbo, NSW - the Home of The Western Plains Zoo!! I used to live not far from that zoo - and I remember hearing the lions roaring away every night, particularly in summer at about 7pm. Anyway, my...

ah i know what you mean, I am thinking very carefully about going into web designing within the deaf community, even though I dont class myself as deaf as such. Its very hard for inbetween people like us! I am interested in how it must be for you in Spain. Have you had other jobs in the hearing...

wow, everyone does such interesting stuff. You guys dont let deafness get in the way of anything. I mean, you gotta have money coming in I guess. And work is fun for the people you meet. But my last few jobs have been really stressful, with people expecting me to answer phones, and talk to...

hi im stuntchic, I havent been online at All Deaf for a while, I've been travelling overseas for one whole year (Been in Europe and Britain, India, Vietnam and China!). :thumb: Anyway, I get back to Sydney Australia in December, and I have to get a job. :Ohno: I was trained as a journalist...

:aw: that really is so sweet. Glad you two have found happiness, greetings from Sydney! half way across the otherside of the world! Have fun here, get right into it, and post something I can laugh myself silly at :thumb: We worship people in here who can make us laugh! :bowdown: Yay for...

Welcome - its always good to have hearing people here. have fun, and keep the humour! :ily:

i use a french one, after i visited a dermatologist, cause I was getting the most horrid skin rash ever, just from using anysort of basic cream, scrub, soap and so on. So depressing. But anyway, I use "Avene" which is from France - it's not too expensive, but worth it. I dont let water on my...

oh god i just realised I posted this message twice, like one a few months ago, and now! im so silly :aw: sorry! :Oops:

Hi there fatties, Im not sure if this is the right place for it, but there is a new deaf site for Australian Youth - have a look if you want - its pretty much just a forum, but it is interesting to read. It is here: http://groups.msn.com/AustralianDeafYouth hope they get some...

Another one! There is another good one I found that has just started, Has a lot of potential, but will need posters. http://groups.msn.com/AustralianDeafYouth go for it. :mrgreen:

Hi, Just wanted to post this here to get some people to have a look. Unfortunately it is Australian based, but we would love to hear from anyone really. http://groups.msn.com/CopingwithHearingLossfornormalpeople

God, I can relate to those stories too - but I feel as if I have been luckier not to expereince much discrimination. I live in Australia, and most people are all really understanding over here... My mechanism is like this. Someone says something and I don't hear what they've said - I usually...

I guess we have a long way to go with technology, because the retro X, whilst being fairly clever, is still not going to help the majority of the people who want to be able to hear a little better. I just want to note what Sweet KJ mentioned in another thread re C.I.s. You are still deaf, not...

WHY ALL THIS FEAR ABOUT C.I.s!!! I lament the fear of our community to anything new!! OH WOE :tears: We are living in a world where we fear DIFFERENCE and CHANGE - thats whats happening. You have more chance of getting eaten by a shark or getting hit by a car than getting a bad C.I...
