HelloNurse, are you deaf/hoh yourself? if so, does the lecturer know? I'd be all 'BUT WHAT ABOUT ME THEN?' if I had guts. If I was hospitalised or very ill, I doubt I'd want to be writing. Can't read most Drs handwriting anyway! I don't sign but I'd like to learn when I have the money for...

I just bought myself an early Christmas present- a secondhand Canon 300D SLR- I know it's not a film camera but it's great having more control over my photos.

I hated wearing mine- I couldn't hear class discussions, only the teacher. I got told off a lot for not wearing it.

ooh, giant tic tacs! Never seen those here. I passed my driving theory test :-) work have changed my hours to zero hour contract/3 days a week work so I don't know when I'm in next, might have a loooooooong weekend. I got my medical notes but there are no audiograms etc, just my baby notes...

No, even lying down with them in makes them press against my head and it hurts my ears.

CJB, I know what you mean- if it's a stranger at the bus stop commenting about the weather it's too much effort for me to say 'What?' and explain that they need to speak clearly if I can't understand them- I'm not going to see them again, and polite chit-chat seems like too much effort for me...

I'm wondering when my hiccups will go, and how the important meeting at work tomorrow will go- to discuss starting the website work which I was hired to start in January.

I'm not a very good photographer, but I did work for a while as a photographers' assistant for a clothing website- I mostly retouched things on photoshop and did general practical work, laying out the clothes etc. We used a Canon EOS 500D I believe- I fell in love with it. A friend of mine has a...

girlinggrey I thought I was the only one who speaks quietly with my aids in- my own voice sounds funny and loud, so I talk quieter. I tend to get told I'm mumbling. When I'm excited about something I get loud and get shushed. I can't hear my own voice properly with them in due to occlusion (only...

Loghead I was thinking about attitudes to my hearing loss in my job and remembered your story.

I'm exhausted, too many late nights. Ebay people are collecting my instruments this weekend and my ex is coming over to get his stuff and we'll try to 'hang out' and not be sad or argue. Loghead I do remember that manager, I was thinking about it the other day actually- that's fantastic!

What a day! I've been so busy recently with work, and had a hell of a long day. I was up late trying to finish fixing a laptop for work, then had to get up early to shower and go to audiology before work. My dad dropped me off as the appointment was 8.45 and the first bus leaves at 9.16, but it...

My parents had salmon with cous cous and ratatouille, and I don't like fish so I had ratatouille with a jacket potato and some grated cheese- delicious!

Hugs xx I don't know you but I'm thinking of you and your family x

My weekend starts on Thursday as I work part time ;-) My best friend wants me to go swimming with her so I've bought a swimsuit (she can look after me cos I'm a bad swimmer and can't see or hear very well at the pool). Tomorrow the people who won my saxophone and guitar on ebay are coming...

why it's so warm and how I wish places had air con in the UK if I'll ever get to visit my uncle in Alberta then visit Toronto if I'll pass my driving theory test next weekend

Bottesini I love your shoes! I can fit in kids shoes too, I'm a 4 or 5 and adult sizes start at 5.

Hmm, it's only Saturday here, but I work Mon-Thu so my weekends are long. Thursday I put some things on ebay to raise money for a car (I'm having lessons and taking my theory test soon, hope to take my practical test in a few months). They're going well :-) Friday was a lazy day- was very...

I'm thinking I'm sleepy! Am wondering if the musical instruments I put on ebay will sell (am saving for a car) and thinking I should do something about making a website for the jewellery I make.

Am thinking how I want the meeting that's going on in the kitchen at work to hurry up cos I'm hungry!
