I've always read a lot ever since I was very little. My Deaf friends with good English say the same thing, and grew up devouring books. I also had the Internet as I got older and could research topics I was interested in. Perhaps you could do something like that. Find books and articles on the...

Nooopee I'm in college! And because: 1. I have two more years of it, and I don't really want to be bored and lost for the next two years. 2. I want to learn ASL more. 3. It would actually be cheaper than the rising tuition at my own university WITH my scholarship. :(

Oh, those events are the WORST when you're running late for something. I was eating breakfast, and my little toddler nephew grabbed one of my HAs and decided to dunk it in my orange juice when I went to the bathroom. I came back and freaked out. Took about 45 minutes of looking to finally make...

That's for law school. I might go to Gally to finish out for my BA. :) But it's cool that you remembered! See, OP, everyone agrees that people are much more accepting in college, so you have nothing to worry about as far as that goes!

Happy birthday JClarke! :D

I go to a hearing college. People might ask questions about the terp, but I doubt you'll get many (if at all) mean questions or anything of that sort. College is more diverse and you see all different kinds of people, so nothing is really too shocking. If they ask questions, they might just be...

Good point! I've had plenty of people tell me "Well, if your hearing aids are working for you, then why don't you just get one of those...implants they do now. Aren't those better anyway? They can fix your hearing these days!" I'm sure others have been told the same thing! I don't think the...

Wow, I feel so bad for you, Tyler's mom! No offense or anything, I just feel like you weren't aware of a lot of those misconceptions hearing people have about HAs! Someone already addressed that HAs don't bring up hearing to the same level as a hearing person. I love the person who described...

I have them. I can't tell you what I switched from, because before these I hadn't gotten new hearing aids since I had just started middle school. I didn't really care what I had before. I can tell you though, that with these I had more sound localization when I first got them. Other than that, I...

Who was it that made chex mix?! I want to learn how to make chex mix! *jealous* I would totally love to go to next year's expo if it was closer! I do live in the South though. :)

I don't think them asking you questions and such is bad. At least they're making an effort to understand you and see what it's like to be HOH/deaf. You could always change the subject if it gets repetitive or whatnot. Yeah, in this case, if your friends don't sign or anything, and your HAs...

It was definitely a fast read! I read it today. It was interesting to see her take on her deafness, as well as see other parts of her life, like how she was raised. I'd read it if you are interested in seeing some of Marlee's history. :)

Well how are you normally around your hearing friends? I'd just continue to do that...I mean if you talk around them at school or something, that shouldn't change when you're sleeping over. If you take out your HAs when you're sleeping (I remember that you're HOH, right?), then just say "Hey...
