    Official AllDeaf Switched At Birth Discussion [tv show on abc family]

    Hello, I have no idea what hulu is, must be cable. I just get the basics and I have dial up so I can't watch this show>l Just thought I would say that I think we should be supportive of this show. Yes, it may have its faults but at least they are recognizing a culture rarely portrayed on tv...

    Late deafened/Progressive Hearing Loss Tubes In Ears

    Well, my eardrum grew into them and they never fell out so 2 years later they just stuck a suction tube on the end of my ears and pulled them babies out. Talk about pain, I will never forget that! And the worst one is the one I am completely deaf in now. Hearing loss runs in our family and...

    Anyone have luck with Medically Needy & Hearing Aids?

    This sounds like medicare for the disabled when I applied for it. They went by my husbands income (I don't work) but we thought maybe I could get insurance this way and it ended up we had to pay like 1600 a month for it and all I needed was hearing aids! So since you have to get analog hearing...

    So I gave up wearing Nike Air Max sneakers

    I was told by my doc that alot of them are good shoes but what to look for when buying a good walking shoe is if the toe of the shoe can be bent back over the top to heel then it is a big no no. The less they bend the better the shoe. And then get inserts to fit your foots needs.

    Wow, sorry for your son. I can't imagine 25, they are way too painful for that. See why would they tell you that when we go to get them they say NOTHING about hearing loss.

    Late deafened/Progressive Hearing Loss Tubes In Ears

    Curious of all the late deafies or hard of hearing progressive loss people > how many have had tubes in thier ears. Had tubes in mine when I was about 12 and 2 years later they were still in my eardrum which of course grew around the tubes. 4 years later I got my first hearing aids.

    why do hearing people think they better than us?

    I will take a stab at it but I really dont know. It seems the people who are better with it are the ones with more self confidence and are not afraid to jump in and make you feel like a part of things. Kind of like reverse shyness it is not that they don't like you if they are not accustomed...
