Seems to be a real minority! I didn't expect this. How many of us are there around here?
 
Around where? I guess we are in the minority in the whole country wherever we happened to be in.
 
I think more than a minority of deaf from birth or prelingually deaf, we just have a few late deafened HOH that are so vocal that it seems like they are 3 or 4 people sometimes.:lol:
 
I do not see many prelingually deaf here and I feel alike I am minority one here on AD. :dunno:

multiple personality?
 
Deaf at age two here. I was already talking by then, so I guess that makes me technically post-lingually deaf.

I actually gained some hearing back at two which enabled me to learn to speak. With an odd accent, but I speak.

Hmmm, do you really think your sense of hearing was a huge factor in your speech? I think some people just have a knack. Not sure though.
