I believe it is proper to call the Deaf, Deaf and the Hard of Hearing, Hard of Hearing. The medical community tries to make it seem that Deaf people are handicapped in some way, when they are not, so the medical community makes labels like "Hearing Impaired." I believe it is the right of the...

Hi Everyone, I am hearing, but I thought I would share that I also have panic disorder, along with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and bipolar disorder. It's very hard sometimes. Right now, I am facing finals at college, as well as my housing being up in the air (I have to move soon and...

Female 36 in May Northeastern Massachusetts

Hi All, I've worn glasses for a long time (since I was about 16, now I am almost 36). I didn't mind them much, but a few years ago I suffered from an illness called Idiopatic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH)... a fancy way of saying I had too much spinal fluid causing pressure in my head and...

Hi Annie, I live in the Boston area (actually northeast of Boston). I go to Grace Chapel when I can in Lexington. They have an ASL Interpreted service at 9:30 AM, an all ASL Bible Study following (at 11:10 AM), and a Deaf-Sponsored movie night once a month. The next one is April 28 at 6:30...

Thanks, Heart2Sign. Are you Deaf? It must be hard on you to have only one Deaf friend out there. There is a (non-Deaf, Deaf, and HOH) Deaf/ ASL community at my college, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to be able to tutor with my Deaf teacher (Scott) and a Deaf tutor (Anne) there. There...

Cool Hi Pieter, I had a friend named Amanda who served at a ministry in New Hampshire. I loved her accent; she also spoke Afrikaans. She had an Afrikaans Bible that I liked to look at. It was really cool. I have a wonderful ASL teacher, and I learn a lot in the classroom, but I also do a...

Thank You Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome! I appreciate it! :) Wendy :hug:

Hello everyone! I already posted something in the wrong place... I posted it under something about ASL, SEE, Oralism. It is a question unrelated to this topic. Oops. Anyway, my name is Wendy and I am hearing. I am taking Elementary ASL 1 at a local community college. In the summer, I will move...

Oops, apparently I put this question in the wrong section... I am not debating ASL, SEE< etc... just asking a question...
