Mystery disease when I was 10 months old, fever of 107 got out with hearing loss and damage to the auditory processing part of my brain. I think I'm better for it, when I don't want to listen to you I just have to pop out my hearing aids. :P

That's a good idea, I may have to do that. Thanks.

My dad's family moved to Indiana when he was a kid because his sister had rare form of cancer and Riley's Hospital for Children is in Indianapolis. I've lived my whole life in Indiana but we always visited the South West when I was growing up. I go to Indiana University now and will hopefully...

Hey, Native here too! I'm Hlhe-pai N'de (Lipan Apache) enrolled and whatnot. I am also in a Native history Graduate program, I focus on Native gender and sexuality from pre colombian through the colonial eras. Just wanted to throw that in there. I don't know about my tribe's hand signs though...

Here is me :)

It was such a beautiful day that I went rollerskating outside on this paved trail with my dog, I went to a different spot on the trail though and there are too many cross streets and these stupid bumps to indicate where the cross streets are, they look like legos, well they're not easy to skate...

Awesome! Thanks! I'm going to have to get some of those ear gears!

How many people rely on speech reading? It's something I don't realize I rely so heavily on until I can't see someone's mouth. I wear my HAs to school and being a grad student most of my classes are small groups so I don't typically have too much of a problem. But if I'm somewhere that I know...

Who had the nerve to ask out a beautiful lady tonight? THIS GIRL! High Fives all around! I've been crushing on her for a while and haven't had the nerve to ask her out on a real date until tonight. :D

Ok, LOVED Marlee Matlin on the show, but when Jennifer Beals signs she just has the most expressionless face all the time. It makes me crazy.

My dad actually came to me recently and said something I never expected. I've had hearing loss since I was 10 months old and had a fever of 107, I was lucky to survive, my whole life my dad always got on to me for being "too loud" when I talked or anything. I'd always argue that I wasn't being...

Just met a guy yesterday, total stranger and we were picking up our kids from the boys and girls club at the same time, he was signing to his daughter and i had signed at my sons and he stopped and we looked at each other, he asked if i'm deaf, said no hoh and we had a conversation for a minute...

Just curious if there are any other derby fans/ athletes here. I play roller derby for a league in southern Indiana.

I sleep past my alarm all the time, I use an audio alarm but I don't sleep with my hearing aids in and i'm always late to work because i over sleep, I bought a new alarm clock that is much louder apparently my roommate can hear it in the basement but it's still 50/50 that I'll sleep through it...

I wear BTE hearing aids and I find them to be the most comfortable. I have BTE mini hearing aids right now, I play roller derby and I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what is the best hearing aids for sports where you're in full contact with other athletes and potentially sweaty. I...

New here, my name is Laura, I'm HOH :D
