I'm late-deafened but have been signing music long before I ever had a hearing problem. I don't sign songs as much as I used to now because it does take me longer to learn new songs, timing, words, etc., since I have absolutely no hearing left. I do it more for myself. It's fun to do and it's...

All I can really give is my personal experience. I'm late deafened and have absolutely NO hearing left what so ever. I've only been Deaf a few years (I say Deaf and no deaf because I grew up in the Deaf Community and everyone thought of me as Deaf even before I became physically deaf. Make...

Hey there! :wave: I would love to practice at night. I have really bad insomnia so I'm usually awake. :) I'm more than happy to give people my Skype name if ya'll want it but I would prefer messaging on here a couple times before I give it out. :ty: Just fyi, I'm 19, Female, and Deaf.

:wave: Hey There! Okay, first off always remember something basic. [Topic First, Comment Second] When signing, you always say what you are talking about first and then what you want to say about it. So if you wanted to say, "The cat is brown." you would sign "Cat (index to cat) brown." Now...

:wave: I'm curious if anyone has or has heard of an electronic notepad. I know they have things like the iPad and other things that are similar but I'm looking for something smaller and much cheaper. I'm thinking something maybe under $30. It doesn't need to do much at all; just have the ability...

I can definitely realate to not wanting to go to the Deaf Socials alone. However, if you just push yourself to do it once or twice, you'll meet people there and it won't be so awkward because you'll already have friends there. :) For me, I've brought people who weren't interested and it really...

I completely agree. I'm very lucky because I can lip read really well. BUT, that doesn't make me hearing. I have absolutely NO hearing left whatsoever so I rely entirely on lip reading (writing, sign, etc.) but I know some other Deafies aren't able to lip read as well, or sometimes at all, and I...

Hey! :wave: Welcome to AllDeaf! Although I think I've seen you around a little bit recently. :) I'm not near the Denver area. I'm actaully moving in a month even further away, BUT I do have Skype. I know it's not the same as practicing in person but I'd be happy to help out until you do find...

Hey hun! :wave: I'm new to the site as well, though I've been following it for a couple years. I'm Deaf but I read lips really well so my means of communication all depends on who I'm with. I have a couple certain friends who I'm incredibly blessed to know. They have actually learned (or learned...

Hey there! I would love to meet new people online who have an interest in ASL. I don't care if you're Deaf or hearing; fluent or just beginning. I have a couple good friends who have actually taken the time to learn sign for me and it means more to me than they will ever know. I would love to...

Learning languages has always been a passion of mine and I've usually been able to pick up on them quickly. I was in the middle of the semester in a college Spanish class when I lost my hearing. I had an A in the class the whole semester up until I lost my hearing. I ended up failing the class...

I know I'm not exactly replying to the main topic in this post but I really wanted to thank BecLak posting about 'My Song' on YouTube. I had never seen that before but I'm definitely going to show this to a few people. I have a couple supportive hearing people in my life that know some sign and...

:wave: Welcome to AllDeaf! I'm a newbie as well. I'm currently blessed to be living in an area where there are a few different Deaf socials and events during the month. However, I'll be moving soon to a place with NO Deaf Community! :eek2: Once I move I'll be attempting to create a small...

I had very sensitive hearing until I became deaf so in the past it was the sound sensitivity that bothered me. I was able to hear a clock ticking on a different floor with the doors shut or hear every word people whispered while I was in a sound proof room. Now it's the tinnitus that bothers me...

When I had perfect hearing (I had very sensitive hearing) I had tinnitus but I was able to drown it out most of the time. Usually it was actually the sensitive hearing that bugged me because I could hear a ticking clock on a different floor with the door shut. Now it's the tinnitus rather than...
