I don't remember being young and struggling to understand, I just thought everyone heard the same as I did, but figured things out better. They were smarter or older or something. I think the first time I realized there was a difference was when I started riding a bike. Between the training...

I do wish they would put captions on movies in the theatre. I have gone to an opera once and it had subtitles and I enjoyed it SO much more than any musical or play I've ever gone to before. I knew what was going on! I wonder how long until they come up with a voice recognition device that...

The story about the ice maker made me laugh. I never grew up with one, and we went on vacation and the condo we stayed at had an ice maker. It also made noise as I was just falling asleep. I freaked out :shock: Also felt very silly once I found out what it really was

I got into the ASL class at my school! It took a lot of running around from building to building and a few e-mails, but I'm signed up. The class starts on September 19, so not for a few weeks. I'm going to keep practicing until then. I am very excited to be able to have real feedback about...

I do not know if you believe in God or not or if you believe in prayer, but I am praying for your mom and for your family. Especially you, that you will be strong and encouraged. I do not know what you are going through, but I do care about you, though we just met online. Please keep us...

Though I know what it is like to struggle to understand someone, I cannot say I know what it is like to be deaf. Just like hearies and deafies cannot understand what it is like to HEAR a noise, but not know what it is/what it means. How hard it is to learn how to talk when the sounds are all...

In college, I am studying neuroscience as my major. I was wondering how you would sign that? I thought about "nerve science", or "study nerves" as that is pretty much what it is, but didn't know if anyone had a better suggestion.

Offline dating story... I had a "boyfriend" when younger. My first real guy to go out with, but it wasn't a very mature relationship. He gave me his hamster, who was 2 years old when I got him (average lifespan is 2 1/2 years for a hamster). It died over the summer and he got very, very mad...

There are definitely times when I "hear" her as speaking like a hearie. This seems to be when she is really mad. I do not know if I just hear it less or if she does it less. I think it would be like any actor using an accent not their original language.

Thanks! I'm glad that it isn't too bad. I will admit, I had to do about 10 takes because I forgot a sign or didn't like how it went the first few times. I'm mostly learning from a book and looking things up on this site - http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi to completely...

Okay, I am somewhat embarassed to share this with all of you, but I figured out how to make a video with my web cam. So, you can watch my poor attempt at signing here. I would love constructive criticism, especially if I said something completely wrong. I do know I messed up the first part of...

It is on ABC Family, I found you can watch some episodes online with captions at - ABC Family - Switched at Birth - Videos However I do not know if you can view these outside of the US or not. If/when it comes out on DVD, I will try to remember to post here so that others can also watch it.

Sorry if this seemed overly negative. I loved the show and want to watch the rest, except NetFlix does not have captions on it. I may have to buy DVD if it comes out on them. In this post, I decided to focus on what I felt was inaccurate, I was just wondering if this was things that I noticed...

Yes! The wet wool is also horrible. My mom cannot hear or even feel it, so she thinks I'm crazy.

As someone who really does have an auditory processing disorder, this also drives me nuts. Yeah, I have a fan or florescent light humming in the background and can't understand anything but it is like you going to a concert and not being able to hear. I was tested, and while I could hear tones...

SmithTR, I just wanted to thank you for using ASL syntax when discussing things on the forum, it is really helping me to learn more quickly ASL!

I was reading this post and actually believed for a little bit that butterflies made noise and I'd never heard them. :eek3: I would like to know, when you use a cotton ball, can you feel the "squeaks" that it makes when it rubs? I hate it so much, but I simply can't decide if it is the sound...

Did anyone else feel like the portrayal of communicating with a Deaf person wasn't portrayed very well in the recent television show, Switched at Birth? I haven't watched all of the episodes, but from what I've seen, especially Daphne seems to be seen as a super lip reader. Yes there are...

What is the logic behind this? I just don't understand why parents would think this way. Parents adopt from foreign countries and they do what they can to understand the kid's culture and language. Why do not parents do the same for deaf/HOH children? It makes me very mad, I think I read the...
