"Text" on the ultratec means something completely different. You cannot use a TTY (even the ultratec uniphone) to "text" a cell phone. The TEXT button on the ultratec is there because that specific phone is both a "hearing phone" and a TTY. The "TEXT" button simply flips the phone from "audio"...

My local Costcos now carries Phonak ... I have no personal experience buying etc from them, however it's good to see they're expanding out to more mainstream brands.

No - but I'd leave off your hearing status in your profile until you get a proper audiological assessment done. "My GP says I might be deaf in a year" and "I'm actually deaf" are two very very different things. Deaf (small "d"), medically speaking means having +90db of hearing loss. We...

Nope Costa Rica uses Costa Rican Sign Langauge (it shares about 60% commonality with ASL, but it's very definitely it's own language). If someone is going to take the time to teach him/them Sign Language, they need to make sure it's actually the Sign Language used in that area. (Otherwise...

Umm? No it is not.

I'm very confused. Using ASL to teach English to "typical" EAL/ESL hearing students (meaning those without hearing/speech/language issues) is like using Mandarin to teach Spanish.

You'd have to talk with your CI clinic... What kind of dance do you do? For Ballet - you'd probably be able to be back at the barre in a few weeks. Things like Plies and Tendus wouldn't be a problem at all (even if your balance is a bit off, you've got the barre, and they're gentle)...

I was born in the 70s with SSD (+120db deaf right side). My hearing has changed over the years and I now have mild/mod (sometimes severe, due to extreme flux) hearing loss on my left side as well. I also have APD which makes things a lot trickier to work with HA/Amplification wise. CROS and...

See if you can get a trial of a BiCROS - they're MUCH better than they used to be (Phonak makes good ones). There is also a softband BAHA that you might want to try - at least then you can say you tried it! Also , there are people who never have the BAHA surgically implanted, they just use the...

Adult/Child interactions in ASL follow the same patterns as any other fully formed living language. As such, a basic study of language acquisition should give you all the answers you need.

"Welcome" and "you're welcome" are not signed the same. (There are a few exceptions, most involve interactions between fluent and non-fluent signers) "WELCOME" is used when welcoming someone/people (welcome to my home, welcome to the event etc) "YOU'RE WELCOME" depends on context ("FINE"...

Since you have been hearing up to this point, have you looked into CI at all ? If not you might want to talk to your audiologist about them.

I know both ASL and SEE (I haven't used SEE in decades). Since both you and your son have Aspergers, I actually think ASL would be a better fit. SEE is basically intended for teaching Hard of Hearing and Deaf students English literacy in the classroom - it doesn't really make a lot of...

Does ip-relay.com still work for IP or IM relay calls?

Here's my take as someone fluent in ASL who's lived in various places: aslpro.com tends not to be regional. They intentionally select the most dominantly used / most widely recognized variants of signs in their videos - which is a good thing, unless you live in an area with heavy...

I'm just wondering if you've considered something like the Dynavox Dynawrite2 ? I know a number of people who use this or a similar device to communicate and it's a great help. The school should be able to access one for her use if it's put into her IEP.

She did have a role in the movie as well - she was at the "party" for Marian Loesser.

Thanks Tousi - I was looking for videos/interviews etc, but wasn't able to find anything showing her name sign. Thanks.

I also wanted to say that sometimes I wear my HA all the time - other times I don't wear it at all. I have HL, as well as APD and sometimes no amount of volume will help me process sounds - but the volume/sounds will give me a headache/make it harder to focus. I look at my HA as a tool that...

I just saw :( She was an amazing actress! (P.S. I've forgotten her Name Sign, does someone know?)
