Yes and no. Kinda like being blind in one eye throws your depth perception off. We hear best in stereo, from 2 directions. Just one and it throws everything off. Harder to determine the direction sound is coming from. You don't hear as richly with just one ear. At the same time the one ear...

I have been exposed to oral Deaf, and they prefer to sign. They feel, like shel90 that their life is more open because of ASL. Negative aspects, i have not been exposed to. All Deaf that i have met have been gracious and kind. Although i know there are those out there, i have not met them. But...

LOL no i don't scare easily. I just don't get to visit AD as much as i would like now.

Thanks everyone!! Yes i am going on to ASL 2 in the fall. I also want to take a fingerspelling class because i need a lot of improvement there. I love the language so it is a joy to learn.

I got an "A" in ASL 1!!! It was an easy class for me but still nice to see it! YAY!!!

Quick update I will write more later. This second female audie asked my boyfriend if he is married or anything he said actually I am gay. She said oh okay. He said yeah my boyfriend's best friend is Deaf and he has a lot of Deaf friends. She said, "oh... Well you need to realize this is your...

My boyfriend boxes and is worried that when he becomes Deaf he won't be able to box anymore. I said that is crazy talk there are Deaf boxers out there..... So can anyone give me the names of better known Deaf boxers? i want to be able to tell him what to look up. Thanks everyone!! :ty: :afro:

During his mapping sessions yes! I will tell him this as well! Good info!

He likes the sounds i make during love making!! LOL as for the snoring he has never complained about that. Of course he falls asleep faster than me, he claims to only sleep well when in my arms. right! LOL HIS snoring on the other hand is a different matter! LOL What has has started doing is...

I am hearing, and hearing people get on my nerves for the same reason. As for my experience, every Deafie i have met have been gracious and kind to me so i don't know about the bad experiences. Some have said they wish i was Deaf, or CODA, or in a relationship with a Deaf so i could sign as...

OMG so i was talking to him on my sk last night and he was saying his audie and his primary are both discouraging him from learning sign. AND his audie wants him to get CI. AND he feels she looks at Deafness as an illness, something to be fixed. I am supposed to go with him to his next apt to...

I said my Deaf friends, they are all prelingual or from birth they have never been hearing or have absolutely no memory of hearing. They have not experienced this so that is why i say they cannot help. I have one friend who became Deaf due to an illness when he was 6 years old, but he lives in...

Well he knows how to sign a little, i am really helping him with that. It is a few years off yet although he wants me to go with him to his next apt with his audie because he becomes too emotional and doesn't remmy half of what is said. I told him it is natural to be scared and it is okay. And...

Some of you may remember the thread i started last month about meeting this guy whose brother is Deaf and he knows sign. This is great for me since my best friend is Deaf and i am in the Deaf community all the time and really am in it more than the gay community. He told me that the same genetic...

Well there should be plenty of light anyway. One thing i have learned, when i have had parties with all Deaf or all signers, there has to be plenty of light. I have been told Deafies need more light, and Deafies are the ones who told me this. When i have had my best friend at a party at my house...

I have heard that if you see Deafies signing you are supposed to tell them you know sign, is this true? Also when i was learning sign it was at starbucks. My best friend just happened to be with me and we were signing and a Deaf woman walked by and asked if we are Deaf, through the window she...

MY GOODNESS!!! LMAO okay so yeah um..... i am all a flutter and so happy and everything..... He is just great!! update, well i am still seeing a lot of him and enjoying every minute. So here is something. He told me last week that he wanted to take me to a really nice dinner this week. I...

Yes I am quite gay! LOL He says he likes me more than a friend, he kisses me like he likes me more than a friend. We will see how it turns out but so far haven't jinxed it. And because of his brother he loves the Deaf comunity like I do, infact that is something that attracts him to me. We...

I was out with my best friend on Thursday night at a local club and we were signing away when this guy came and tapped me on my shoulder and signed, “are you Deaf” I told him no hearing, pointed at my best friend and said he is Deaf, and then asked the guy if he is Deaf. He said no he is hearing...

Huh? MTV has captions on it's shows my best friend, who is Deaf watches it all the time. Several of his favorite showes are on MTV.
