    Hearing service dog

    :yesway: I would check the library or any book store. Perhaps youtube.com for videos and tricks to teach your dog. Using treats is good. Keeps the calories down by breaking treats in 1/2s and 1/3s. The more you teach your dog, the more intelligent he or she will be. Don't forget to take...

    Asked to change swimming lesson classes.

    Would you want your child to have a normal life and have him or her get a chance to learn from classes with a teacher who said that deafness is not a problem or would you have your child be in speacial classes, having him think that he is not ever going to have a normal life because your child...

    Will I qualify for Social Security Disability benefits ? Hearing loss on both ears 90

    Hi, I'm Skypony from Raban Gap, Ga. I didn't think someone who is deaf would be able to get SSI and SSDI. Is that possible? I've been to a deaf school, MSD and I know that a school like that is very expensive. How do deaf people adapt to that situation. I've some hearing loss but the number is...

    What Ticks You Off (Most) About Hearies?

    Usually when I see a deafie, I ask if the sign or speak. I don't ask if I see them signing. I only saw 1 deafie in the mountains where I live. I saw her signing and I knew she was a signing deafie. I said hello and introduced myself. I love to sign to deafies. So it's no problem. What makes me...

    What Ticks You Off (Most) About Hearies?

    it's ok. People make mistakes all the time. I'm a hearie myself. You live in learn. God forgives and so should the Deaf community. Just be yourself and don't cover your mouth when you communicate with a deafie. Make sure you don't mock them, but understand them. It will be ok. I miss being...

    I am so sorry about your cat. Your dog will take care of you right where your cat left off. Animals are very sensitive about people and I am sure he will be your best friend forever. What breed is your dog? Mine is a Red tick hound.

    does your pet know that u are deaf?

    I'm sure the doggie knows you're deaf and give the cat some time. The cat will find out sooner or later. I have a dog who knows my balance is not the best in the world. He helps me down hills and around the creeks. I live in the mountains and Charlie (my dogie) is a mountain dog. He also warns...

    ASL at Deaf Universities

    Amen to that. I grew up a hearie and I went to MSD in Maryland. My sister taught me to sign. She was a teacher at MSD in Montgomery County, MD. I learned ASL and continue to sign as long as I have a HOH or a deafie to sign to. Now I live in GA and there is nothing but hearies everywhere. I did...

    Challenges with late- deafened without sign language and hearing aids

    What about a hearing dog? How do you get them? While I was in college, I went to a seminar where the speaker was deaf and she had a hearing dog. It was awesome. The hearing dog will get the door, phone and you if someone wants to talk to you. Hearing dogs are trained to do stuff like that and...
