that's sickening... actually i believed that already, i'm a little unsure as to why i made that post in the first place. still, it'd be nice to have like, a link to a news article or something. but i can understand how that would be virtually unattainable.

yeah, I was hoping for a link to the actual story. i don't mean to offend, but i'll probably stay under the impression that the story was made up entirely (well, i'm THAT shocked!) until i read the story off a legitimate source.

i watched the video on one of the links, apparently theres this sort of masked microphone that doesn't disrupt the hearing students/teacher. but hey, sounds like a great sort of technology. hearing people should just train themselves, andj wear those mics every day with little screens atop...

well the only situation i can think of was when i was having a quiz in my ASL class and the teacher was signing short sentences that we were supposed to translate from ASL to english and write down in english word order. she intended to sign "vacuum the floor" but instead, she said "vacuum...

all right, thanks for the help! =) and errm congrats on your 5,555th post? hehe. edit: so i've never actually considered body-worn hearing aids before. in fact, I don't really know much about them. would it actually work for me??

oh, got it, thanks for the clarification jillio! well the TypeWell is great, to be honest. slow, but i still get a much larger understanding of what's going on in the class; it simply isn't hyper-accurate realtime. since i experienced CART before TypeWell, I guess i have high expectations...

yeah, I know this, it's not an issue for me. my ear still has great speech discrimination. the problem IS the amplification, i'm not getting enough of it. it's no longer loud enough, that's what i'm saying. i dont mean i cant understand speech, but i cant even hear sounds coming out of people's...

I liked seeing the difference between the BSL and ASL signs.. like for "deaf" and "now", etc. You can see in the magazine he's reading under the covers that it's a pretty clear BSL alphabet. I LOVED this video and LOL'd at it quite a few times, by the way!

i use TypeWell for my university courses. in my experience, the TypeWell transcribers aren't as fast as the CART transcribers i've had. i know it's probably just a matter of who the transcriber is and how experienced they are, but i noticed that CART uses a different (albeit older-looking)...

i'm deaf and I go to the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada. i use TypeWell but in my experience CART is better. my ASL observational skills aren't that great so i don't really want an interpreter anyway. i have one deaf friend at my school (who has a CI and uses...

the description on phonak.com of the Supero 412 BTE is that it is the "most powerful Phonak digital BTE instrument". Phonak hearing systems - Digital Supero 412 this is for Phonak... does it mean it's the most powerful BTE that phonak has? are there any other companies that might hold even...

haha i dont know about any specific memories. i just know that my teachers always left the class and went to the bathroom all the time without removing it, and i'd tell my friends what they were doing and we'd giggle over it. (hey i was like 8 or 9). sometimes i'd give the mic to my friends...

having hearing aids is no guarantee that you'll be able to distinguish those sounds, anyway. fortunately your hearing loss is pretty mild so you should still get quite a bit of help from HA's anyway. what initiated your hearing loss, if you don't mind my asking? i wouldn't suggest putting your...

I am actually pretty sure the same applies to Korean Sign Language, where the middle finger is Brother and the pinkie is Sister. If you move either finger up or down it implies whether they are older or younger. This is what I learnt from a guest in my ASL class, who knows Korean, Korean Sign...

hiding it was never necessary for me, my teachers clear forgot to wear them even though i put them on their desk every morning. (okay, maybe a bit out of view...) i just didn't bother to remind them and that was that =)

yeah you're right actually I didn't mean to emphasize the virginity part so much, just the fact that my sisters are 4 years younger than me and stuff... but it's the dating part i care more about.

My 14-year-old sister just lost her virginity.... this is damaging my self esteem!! oy!!... =P

i go to an art school in British Columbia and ALL of the classes are once a week for three hours. I have to tell you, three hour lectures kill, especially for a deaf student trying to hear/lipread what's being said. We do get a 15-minute break halfway through. I don't even pay attention...

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I was talking about pathological deafness; I'm very well aware of what cultural Deafness is. =) I'm perfectly comfortable with my hearing loss, my question was about the technical stuff.

i have one bte in my left ear, don't get much help with one in the right. i've had one since i was about 10 years old and before that i had an FM for a couple years. the model has changed over the years though because my hearing loss is progressive; currently i'm wearing a phonak supero but i...
