that's a great way of describing it. I have accepted now that this is how I am, and i just want to learn to deal with it and move beyond the isolation that I now feel.

Thanks..... it's just really tough adjusting to this. I know that i need to accept it to move on with life, and I am trying to, but it's just going to take time I guess. I guess I'm still "grieving" over the loss of my hearing. It's just so bizarre to be in NYC and walk in the streets without...

Thanks for the link - that's a great site. Really happy i found alldeaf (though I'm sorry I had to)... You're all so nice here.

Thanks. Only about 3 weeks into this new world, so it's all still SO new to me. I know that I still speak properly, but I just don't feel confident talking because I obviously can't hear myself speaking. I've been talking less and less and relying more on writing notes over the last week...

Thanks guys. So my first question: What are the must-have technologies and products to make life easier? I already got an alarm click with a really bright flashing light, and I'm working on trying to get AT&T to switch my iPhone to a texting only plan. What other seemingly basic things to you...

Thanks for the welcome!

Hey everyone, Newly deafened gal from NYC here. I'm hoping to get advice on what are the technologies and products that I absolutely must have to make my new life easier. I already got an alarm clark with a really bright flashing light, and am looking into trying to change my iPhone to a...

Hey everyone, New 19 yr old chick from NYC here. I actually just lost my hearing a few weeks back when I suffered pretty bad damage to the cochlear nerve in a car accident. I'm completely deaf. I'm doing well, but this is quite an adjustment. While obviously the communication issues are a...
