hey hey, you are not alone! i am sure it does hurt when others insult you, but over time these people will realize their mistakes. Everyone doesn't "grow up" at the same rate, do they? If someone does insult you, too bad that person needs to grow up and mature. Just try to be yourself...

I am sure there are alot of companies out there who are willing to hire "potential candidates" who would be an asset to their organization. As far as the law goes regarding reasonable accommodations, I myself don't know how companies react to it, but it is a known fact that if the company-size...

I am of the same opinion actually - I don't rely on private practitioners since they go along with the flow of every-changing technology. By profession they maybe ENT surgeons, but when I first approached them for a hearing aid, I was given the most expensive hearing aid available, and yet it...

and yeah, I am 90% deaf I think or whatever they say that I am HOH, I dont care! Have a profound loss since childhood, but now I think my hearing in the right ear is getting worse..

I dont exactly know the criteria for becoming a CI candidate but as I was told by Bionic Ear Foundation that potential candidates are usually assessed based on their hearing and speech discrimination, their ability to hear in various surroundings, the effectiveness of the hearing aids and so on...

I am studying in my final year in Canada, and I went on a recent visit to a job fair at RIT/NTID in October 2006, hoping to network with some employers and possibly secure a good job. I am profoundly HoH and never actually learnt the ASL, since I could speak and interact well and moreover, I...

been profoundly hard of hearing since age 5 when I was down with viral fever...

I am aware that it is by law in US to provide better reasonable accomodations, but it is not always easy persuading the university to supply you with the right accomodations. Many times I have come across my advisor and was told - we can do our best with what we have! And I had to decide whether...

none in my city...and i cant move out for another year till i finish my studies. i just thought i would make some friends out here on the web atleast to begin with!

I must say that I have been lonely for quite some time now... I started this topic since I want to share my thoughts, and would like to know what everyone does when you feel lonely. I don't know how to say, but I have almost no friends now. Being HOH has not been easy for me, because I don't...

Hi all, I would like to know if anyone could give me their experiences on VCO technology please. I am new to the technology and though I do know how it works, I am not confident about buying it yet. And neither do I want a TTY as I can atleast speak and hear to some extent. Is VCO a better...

Oh yeah, they are totally useless NOW. Way back in '98, when I first got hooked on to the net, I came across a site which was like a classifieds website. I was curious how it worked, and so I joined for free and put up my ad. And every week I made about 4-5 friends(girls) from around the world...

Just as they say Girls dont trust Boys, it is also true that Boys dont trust Girls. I dont trust people easily, and if I ever came across a girl, or even a very close friend, I wont be saying that I Love You, unless I really mean it. It is such a sick feeling, when a girl sticks around, only to...

All such websites on dating and agencies are the same. i dont see anything great or unique about this. So, I really dont know what to say.

Went for Canada Day fireworks in Windsor-Detroit Area yesterday. It was really nice to see the sky lit up with the Detroit Skyline in the background. Are there more fireworks expected on July 1 ? Sorry, I do live in Canada, but I am new to Canada - I moved to Toronto only a year back!

I dont know the mentality of a woman, but I guess they are more worried about their stand in society today. And so I was quite wondering why would a hearing girl choose to be with a HOH guy, who is cool, good lucking and pretty confident! Either they dont know how to deal with them, or they want...

Sultan2979: and yeah, i have never dated !! haha... am happy enjoying being single, but i look forward to finding the right partner who would understand me. as for friends, i do have sufficient. Not too many girls again, because most of them are reluctant to communicate the way I do. Some are...

for sultan2979 : hey, you are not alone! I am on the same level of profound hearing loss and it is difficult to mix with hearing people, as well as the deaf culture, especially if you dont know the ASL. I dont know the ASL, and I have never had any deaf friends, but I do try to meet up with...

do you intend to know how and why he is slightly different, or do you intend to know how to deal with such kind of people ? If you choose the former, I guess there are tons of resources on the web to keep you aware of such people. The latter, you could search through various threads in this...

whats that ? I am sorry, but I am new to all these things. I got through RIT and was about to go, but didnt get a scholarship to support myself. Are you at NTID ?
