I like it when hearing people look past your hearing loss and make an effort to communicate with you or treat you equally like they would treat anyone else. It usually makes my day when people approach me and try to sign to me, even if they only know a few letters of the ABC.

I have an iPod Touch 4g - it's technically not an iPhone, but it still has the same feature for Facetime. I LOVE Facetime. I have used it to communicate with some other deaf friends who have either iPhones or iPod Touch 4gs, along with my family (they are hearing, but they know sign language)...

Keep in mind that I only download free apps - I try to avoid paying for apps. There are some apps that will automatically come with your iPhone, while the rest have to be downloaded. I've listed the ones that I have downloaded. (Note: This list is quite long, and I will continue to download...

Shaun of the Dead Zombieland Zombie Strippers Hoping to watch more later on.

I was slightly offended at first, until he got to the funny part - I laughed soooo hard, because if you think about it, it's true that we get to sign all kinds of shit that hearing people don't get to say everyday. I haven't laughed really hard in a long time, so that made my day. I think that...

Omg... The same thing happens to me and my sister whenever we go out in public together!! My sister is the hearing one, I'm the deaf one. I really don't get why people always assume that she is the deaf person and that I'm hearing despite the fact that we'd both be signing to each other right in...

Congrats :P

Lol, I am 21 years old, and I have this very old hearing aid (at least 18 years old) with a purple ear mold that I picked when I was like... 12 years old. I recently started using it again and still have yet to get new hearing aids. If I get new aids later on I'll pick a different color for the...

I was told that they have DPHH near Philly sometimes too. I'm not from Philly, but I know some deaf people who live in that area... EDIT: After going back couple of pages and reading more posts, I just wanted to add something else- my father lives in Reading during the week. He works for the IU...

Aww, I wish I could come, but I have no way to get to NY. Maybe next time!

I usually look through free stuff, general, household, and job listings.

I can definitely say I am an American. I'm also Irish, German, and a bit of Polish because of my family's ancestry. But for smaller categories, I honestly am not sure where I fit in. Sometimes I say I'm a Pennsylvanian. Other times I feel more like a New Yorker even though technically I was...

I don't have a problem with people using CIs or getting them. If it works for you, good for you. If you'd rather not use a CI, that's fine with me too.

Yeah, I know. Didn't think it'd hurt to mention it anyways.

I'd love to go back to the 60s and experience the grooviness of it all. Or I'd just travel into the future to see what things would be like or what kind of technology we would have in the future. EDIT: I'd probably travel to like... 2500. Or 3000! Or even 4000/5000.

First off, I'd just like to mention that I currently am immersed in the hearing world. I attend a hearing college, and there are not many deaf people around me at all. So that may explain the responses I will post to your question. Do people see you as different or unapproachable...

I think it is a good idea to teach your kid ASL - it will be an enriching experience. But I would be careful about this and place an emphasis on English as well. IMO It is really important for him to be able to read/write English as well as anyone else. It will help give him an advantage and...

I'm confused; are you actually deaf or hearing?

Heya, welcome. I think you came to a good place where you can learn more about deaf people/culture and meet more deaf people to talk with! Just curious though, which college do you go to? I know of at least two colleges that have interpreting majors.

Hiya, welcome :) Just wondering - which college do you go to?
