Did you have the same experience growing up?? I would love to hear your story!

Thank you so much for the link to this book!!! We both spend a lot of time reading so this is perfect!

I wasn't trying to end the conversation. I just wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate your time and advice. As he was growing up no one ever acknowledged his hearing loss. He was always treated like a hearing person. He has learned not to communicate how he feels because no one in his...

Ok, so maybe there is some confusion. I guess I was trying to ask for advice because I'm trying everything I can to make him comfortable. I didn't mean to make it seem like I'm complaining about a lack of a social life. I've always known about his hearing difficulties. I just never knew how much...

I want to be told what it is we are dealing with. He has to be made to look at what's going on. I know there isn't anything anyone can do. But it also makes me angry to realize that he was never prepared for this. His entire family ignored it for so long that he learned to ignore it as well. The...

We've talked a bit about ASL and to him it's more of a last resort. I would love to learn ASL, and have even come up with funny incentives, like that we would have our own language since no one around us knows ASL, and we could talk dirty to each other from across the room!!! Hahaha! That last...

Thanks for the welcome, but I don't really think 34 is that old!!! Hahaha! It's not about him occasionally missing a night out. He would never socialize if I didn't beg and plead. He also has no interest in ASL. When I talk about socializing I mean having friends over, going to friends house, or...

So I'm new and not sure how this all works. I've been married to my hoh husband for ten years. He had spinal meningitis when he was two years old. He was diagnosed hoh at the age of three. He has 100% hearing loss in his left ear and 40 to 50% in his right. It is degenerative. He wore hearing...
