Quite interesting. I think there will be a cure for many things in the future, but I think there will be many more diseases as well. But maybe, only maybe, people will be able to accept one day, that not everything and everbody needs to be cured Well, deaf kids due to measles..I'm pretty sure...

I don't like my Naidas either. It is way better now, after 9month of changing things, but still, I'm not really happy. I really hate it, when the HAs turn things down I want to hear and they are just filtered away. Music is okay, I guess. Didn't expect anything better. All in all I miss my old...

I read the last few pages and had to smile a few times. German people not beeing able to understand people from Switzerland or struggle to be understood there - some memories pop up at this one:lol: People in Bavaria tell me I speak with no accent at all, people from other parts of Germany tell...

I think it is a really good article. Getting people to think, to overlook their views is very important in order to change something.

Wow, I just read all the answers and right now I really am wondering if I could tell people I'm deaf, not HoH. With HAs I hear quite a lot, but without them it is really quiet around here. My right ear responds between 90 and 110dB, my left ear at 100 to 120dB (I hear lower frequencies much...

Ok, I got some explaining to do. Well, first of all I read two different questions. Would I choose to be hearing and would I choose to become hearing. My answer was really to the first one. If I was hearing, all my life long, I think I wouldn't be one of those people who think much about deaf...

No, I wouldn't want to change one thing. Right now, it is perfect. HAs and I can have all the noise. I turn them off, and suddenly everthing is very peaceful. The real reason for me to say no: I think I wouldn't be the person who I am today. I would be cut off from a wonderful world, with...

I'm not really that much into guns, but I love hunting. In Germany it is not so easy to own a gun, but we do have a few. I prefer to take ferret, dog and harris hawk along, instead of a gun.

I actually don't know for sure. My greatgrandmother was deaf, no one else we know of. My Mom has a hearing loss, but she still refuses HAs, and her two sisters both have problems with their hearing. So I think it is inherited. We actually thought we would have deaf kids, since my husband and...

I can't tell you anything about ASL, but I think it is pretty much the same as with german sign language. Here it differs between areas. There are many dialects. The sign for "son" in the south means "sunday" in the north, for example. Most of the time you can figure it out, if not, you just let...

I'm already looking forward to this.... Right now a few words/signs are enough, but now that she starts signing back and starts to speak, things get a little bit more complicated. As long as the radio is turned on, she is happy (most of the time). Communication if the car is not moving...

Interesting quote. I'm always using captions, if there are some, but still I'm not sure where I actually do fit in. In Germany you don't really have this d/Deaf difference. It is more like, how much do you hear and do you know sign language. Therefore I'm HoH, but not really, because I normally...

Hi, well...where do I start?! I grew up in Germany, still living there, but was brought up bilingually. I'm HoH, same as my husband and I was really curious about the deaf culture in the USA, so here I am. We both know DGS, which stands for german sign language, but I was always wondering...
