    Tinnitus is driving me insane.

    My tinnitus isn't so terrible now, I can barely notice it when theres white noise(which there always is in my house), but I'm worried it will get worse the more my hearing degrades.

    Looking to practise asl

    I also want to put that I am hoh, but I have hearing loss and ASL is not my first language. I want to learn as much as I can.

    Help on working sorenson videophone

    I've applied online for sorenson mobile because the customer service line would not give me a representative no matter how long I waited(and sometimes ended the call unprompted) and now I'm a little confused on how it works. Will I have to wait for them to approve me? Or did I do something...

    should i tell my boss?

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm fairly sure that my boss wouldn't like that. Not to mention if I did that customers would be calling me on my day off and I'm only a seasonal so I don't work very much.

    Looking to practise asl

    I'm looking to practise my asl. I'm a little rusty from not being around deaf and hoh people for a few years and I need to practise for my job. I'm willing to use FaceTime, Skype, Glide and Discord for anyone who has one or doesn't mind making an account for it.

    Happy Halloween, Happy Samhain and happy world vegan day

    I celebrated samhain by having a lovely traditional feast and some homemade mulled wine! It was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot.

    should i tell my boss?

    I've been learning for 4 years and I'm better at conversational asl, but that would be the perfect tone for my workplace so I'll definitely see if my employer can do that! Not sure if the company will be happy about it though.

    Any deaf people here who like rock?

    I wanna know how many people here like rock music of any kind. I know the beats are usually fast and loud so it's pretty good for deaf and hard of hearing people. And if so, what's your favourite song?

    Anyone experienced loneliness and anxiety being hoh or deaf?

    I've always felt isolated, especially in very public areas just because I feel like I'm not on the same level as everyone. When I'm in a loud place where I can barely discern other peoples voices I get very shy and quiet because I feel like I can't talk to anyone properly.

    should i tell my boss?

    Not to mention, I've been using my phone on speaker for a very long time to answer phone calls so I can hear it better, and I wasn't aware my hearing has degraded enough that I can't answer the phone like normal.

    should i tell my boss?

    I didn't mean to make it seem like I did know, sorry. But truly I didn't. I work at gamestop and we get a lot of calls from customers asking about games and it happens pretty often.

    Very true

    how useful are hearing aids?

    I did the research on all the different types of hearing aids and you're suggestion was perfect. I have a lot of clogging in my ears so any other hearing aid would probably get clogged in the speaker.

    Hard of Hearing question

    Usually hard of hearing people can't really control the way their voice is with a 'deaf accent', I could imagine that someone would try and speak more clearly around a hearing person though.

    Hearing loss Pet Peeves!

    I do have volume on my phone but I still can't understand him because of the white noise that always comes with phone calls. I once faked a whole conversation with him because at the beginning all I could do was ask him to repeat himself over and over. I like the calls though because even though...

    Hearing loss Pet Peeves!

    A lot of times I have to fake it with my boyfriend. My hearing isn't too far gone so I can catch a lot of what he says just because he has a very deep voice, but he likes to call me on his breaks and talk to me and I just can't understand anything. I've tried to explain to him that I don't like...

    should i tell my boss?

    i wasnt aware i was required to talk on the phone when i took the job and told him that my disability wouldnt be a hindrance. its kinda important but i could probably get away with not using it a whole bunch, or using speaker phone. it was my bad that i didn't realise but he didnt exactly ask me...
