This is me liking Bottesini's comment. On a side note: good luck to you as you start out! I know you will do well - if I heard there was a doctor, physicians assistant, etc, who was d/Deaf/HOH in my area, I would be sure to go to the place they work at. Best of wishes! -Jason

Oh, I get it. Thanks for sharing! If/when 'liking' comes back, I will also use that feature in that way, it could be very helpful! -Jason

Thank you! That's what I thought, but now next time I see my friend I can say for sure! -Jason

Hello! I was going through a library when I saw a book called 'Deafening' by Frances Itani. Of course, I was interested, so I picked it up, then took it out from the library. I didn't pay any attention to the cover, but later on a friend of mine noticed the cover and asked "is she saying 'love'...

If I may ask: what has it evolved to? Just ignore my post if it is a 'board veterans only' kind of thing. -Jason

There are plenty of places online where you can find good information - I am sorry, I can't think of any to name right now for you. I will tell you though, that I have a book called Signing for Dummies which seems to have a good Culture and Etiquette section (in addition to being really good for...

I heard that in some places (can't remember precisely where) in Canada there is soon to be an option for D/deaf/hoh people to be able to text 911, which is pretty cool. -Jason

My favourite TV show would probably be Murdoch Mysteries. -Jason

Nor can I - it says something about premium content only being visible to users in the States (I'm in Canada). The garden seems neat, though. Do the refugees get to keep what they grow? -Jason

Aw, videos like that just make you want to get a ball pit like that and put your own dog in it to see it's reaction. Only thing is, my dog (who is a French Bulldog) is so mellow she'd probably just sit there! :P -Jason

It's so sad - such a horrible way to die. And the poor family and friends as well. -Jason

I was (and still am) mainstreamed, and something that it seems some people (not necessarily in this topic, just some people) think that in mainstream, the HOH/D/deaf kids are held back by their teachers and fellow students educationally, which is sometimes true, but in my experience with 10...

Oh, okay, thanks for letting me know! I will rummage through some Naída topics! -Jason

Thanks for letting me know! I'll look those up! :) My audiologist recommended Naída Q70 by Phonak, have you heard much positive stuff about these? I see discussions on here about NAIDA's, are they the same thing? (Haha, sorry for the bombardment of questions) And you currently have the Oticon...

Hello, sena yildirim! Good for you for learning ASL! It's a fun language to learn! I'm sorry, but I'm not really allowed to chat like that, although I do hope you can find someone to chat with. Good luck with your ASL learning! -Jason

Thanks for the welcome, Safarigirl2011! Pretty cool we have the same type of hearing loss! (: What type of hearing aids do you have? My hearing recently dipped a little lower, to the point that I said in my first post, and my family and I are going to talk with my audiologist about getting new...

I'm not a teacher (still a high school student myself), and although this isn't an accommodation, you could work at a Deaf school (I don't know if you know ASL or not). But if you'd rather not, I hope someone else can give you suggestions about possible accommodations that there are! Also, may I...

That's called 'very likely to be gross'. Haha, but to be serious, I would try that. -Jason

Thanks, Melissa! It is nice to be able to have contact with HOH and d/Deaf people. It's great knowing there are people who have similar experiences with me that I can ask questions, talk with in topics, etc. I found out I can't take the ASL course this year (although we all want to), so maybe...

I would like to build off of this: since the formative years are in this time period, deaf or hard of hearing children who are not known as such may not get the fullest out of their formative years - and so, in a way, in these cases the fault lies more so with those at home, rather than the...
