Spaghetti with tomato sauce, sesame seeds and olive oil.

That reminds me of the story of the English scientist Alan Turing. He defined the principles for how modern computing works and he was amongst the top scientists in breaking the German code machines during World War II. He also came to the insight that biological intelligence works according...

I was invited as a child and I invited other people to my birthday parties, and so on and so forth. But I have a tendency never (or seldom) to establish local friendship. So after moving around a lot as a tween (teenager + 20-29 year old), I only have distant friendship with various people...

I think that it was like this. My cochlear nerve in my right ear is working (or I else would not have my 50% hearing). But it is risky to impose a CI there, because you sever the nerve (???), or the CI may make my hearing worse (CI is not as good as full hearing and as compared to 50%...

Great video. Does it make me understand the deaf world and HOH world better? Yes, I think so. Just a thought. If someone could find links to other threads, I would be grateful. I am HOH since birth and my hearing has not worsened as far as my audiograms can tell. It is not clear from the...

x I get nervous after a while when people are talking around me and I cannot hear. It makes me want to leave. x I used to be shy. Shyness is a feeling/reaction to a situation, and I managed to turn it off. Now, I am an introvert or ignorant instead. x My nails are under constant attack by my...

Welcome to AD, Jennifer! :wave:

Welcome Dawne, We all hope that you will find this forum useful.

Here is another fun thing. I have always been quite good at recognizing dialects and I think that my brain pays more attention to some parts of speech than hearing people do. (So if I could hear normally, I would not be writing this.) I also like attempting to speak various dialects in Swedish...

It is probably your brain that gets confused over pronouncing two vowels repeatedly over and over. Try changing one vowel somewhere (for example "wood" -> "wid") and try again. It works for me. I know a few tongue twisters in Swedish and the pattern is the same there. I don't mean that you...

Very good by the way. Ha, ha, ... :lol:

Thx for your confidence. I hope that it will come useful to you. But don't overdo it. You never know whether people might believe that it is some old Monty Python sketch.

I have 50% hearing in one ear and was diagnosed at the age of 4. No relative who is HOH or deaf except that caused by the aging process. I grew up in an area in Sweden that was contaminated by Chernobyl. No, that was a cruel joke. I was already HOH by then and the radiation was far too small...

I cannot hear if people are speaking words at the rate of a machine gun. Either I am taking in a discussion, or I am not. Having the entire family doing like that is quite tiring. I was referring to situations when going to our summer cottage by car (6h drive). It is so nice and 'comfy' with ear...

Right!

BTW, in the age of mobile phones and Facebook, today's girls and young women expect you to have a huge social circle. In case of a hearing disability, the bar is set rather high. Try to tell a blind man (or woman) to get a driver's license.

Yes, you are right. There is a link there.

I have an awkward sense for perfect grammar. On one occasion as a child, a friend told me: "speak Swedish!" (I am Swedish). It is the weirdest joke I have ever heard and means something like "speak like we do", but I did not take any offense. Sometimes I wore ear plugs when my dad was...

Well, I get a better understanding of how the world works and I like discovering stuff, like an explorer.
