99% of the people I know do not know sign language including myself. 5% I know are deaf so the answer for me is yes.

I can only say to those on disability-enjoy it while you can. Save up for a rainy day and plan ahead. Cuts will trickle down to you-its just a matter of time and there is nothing you or I can do about it. Global econmy is broke :(

The bottom line is "You can never fully trust again" The question is, can you forgive and move on with him knowing this. I say-Move on to greener pastures.

I have been rejected several times for wearing ITE or BTE HAs. Its not fun to be rejected by anyone for any reason but I do know that its better to find out sooner than later. What I mean by that is dating someone for a little while only to have them break up with you because of silly...

If you can-throw out the headphones and buy hearing aids like my Phonaks, that will allow you to stream music, tv directly into your hearing aids using Bluetooth. My IPAD now streams sound directly into my hearing aids. I now also have my cell phone bluetoothed to them. No more headphones...

Yes I agree-people make jobs difficult most of the time. Its very political in the IT world.

I am deaf when I sleep because I cant wear hearing aids so for me-keeping the mind occupied with distractions in order to sleep is a must priority(TV, Lights, reading, scents etc,,,,. I think tinnitus itself can become stressfull and increase the roaring and ringing even more. Good luck with...

For me stressfull events will increase the roaring and ringing, sometimes immediatly, and for a few days.

I am aldhoh (adult late deafened-HOH) and I dont think your making a bad descision but I think it would be better to diversify your child rather than take one path alone. For example, if you raise your child as deaf then most likely she will become part of the deaf culture alone-not a bad thing...

well I dont know about all that, I do know Peter suffers from BiPolar Depression and he writes, produces and sings better than any other artist all together (IMO). He is also a bg supporter of music from all over the world. I think the OP needs to up his\her medication or lay off the...

I have very mixed feelings about this and of course they are just my opinion. I have 22 years in the military which I incurred my profound hearing loss and extreme tinnitus from. During my last 6 years of service I had to wear hearing aids. My supervisors wanted me out because they though I...

Sorry to hear that, Yes our brains do funny things. whispers, bangs and pings and such are alot like when a person loses a limb and still feels pain-called ghost pains. Our brain starts to make up sounds because its losing or has lost the input from the outside world-it just makes stuff...

Have you tried aroma therapy, like a fresh spring air freshener(works for me), maybe try a soft lamp that slowly changes colors from red to yellow (except for blue)? I am going to try the lamp myself as soon as I get the extra funds-even if I have to make it myself. The other think i would...

Exactly like whispers, it is tinnitus for sure. Tinnitus can be many noises from many levels of ringing and or buzzing from subtle to deafening loud. It can be a periodic loud bang like someone banging on your door. It can be a pinging noise like the one you hear from a submarine sonar. It...

I hope that more and more products continue to hit the market for the Deaf and HOH.

Hi; I have been a long time sufferer of severe tinnitus, it seems to get louder every year. I am profoundly HOH from injuries suffered during Active Duty Army years ago and as I lose more hearing the tinnitus takes its place. Its louder than my inner voice now and it occurs 24x7 all year...
