I am hoh, I have been raised and still live in a hearing world. I am the only one in my family who is hoh. I live in a small town and I am pretty sure I am the only young adult here in town who is hoh, except for a few older folks who wear hearing aids because of old age. I have been wearing...

I don't know sign, even though I have been hoh since I was 5. I live in a hearing community and have never been around other hoh or deaf people so sign is not really helpful to me. That being said, I love captions! I love reading everything! I am a super fast reader so I can follow along...

This is an interesting thread. I have worn my HA for around 30yrs now. I have severe hearing loss and wear Sumo BTE aids. Every once in a while may audi (who has been my audi for those 30yrs) will mention CI. I am afraid though. I can hear with my aids, I can speak perfectly. I am an...

I am not sure. I have never tried it. I will give it a shot and call my sister and try to surf at the same time. :)

Everytime I go there I only see a small box for the number to call. How do I set up my own number?

My husband is hearing. He is the best! He treats me like a queen. He never even batted an eye when he first learned I was hoh. We have three daughters (all are hearing) and he will help me in anyway he can. He makes all the phone appointements for me, he made sure we have cell phones with...

I am sorry Coolgirl. I think you were very brave to have asked Jay in the first place.:grouphug: Something like that happened to me when I was 17. The guy I really liked had asked another girl out to the prom. We were pretty close friends and I thought he liked me so I was crushed when I...

Hello all :wave:, I am a newbie here but I have been hoh since I was five years old. I am 36 now. I am in the middle of trying out some new hearing aids. I am thinking of getting the Sumo hearing aids. I have always had to pay out of pocket for my aids but they are getting more and more...

Wow! This is opening up a whole new world for me! I currently own a Samsung Blackjack 11. Do any of you know if this phone can do that? I have internet access on it. Thanks!

I am the only teacher in my small town that wears hearing aids. Everyone pretty much treats me well and are very nice and helpful. There are about 7 students in my school district that also wear hearing aids. I enjoy talking to them and letting them know that even though they wear hearing...

Wow! I didn't know about any of this! Talking on the phone is my biggest problem because I have a hard time decoding words. I am a pro at lipreading and since I can't see the person on the other end of the line I just avoid making calls alltogether. Off to go research!
