The reason? beats me. It breaks their paradigm of normal? No one in my family can sign. I can sign and my (hearing) girlfriend, who I live with, can sign. Here's an example of the problem: my younger brother got married a couple of years ago. At the rehearsal dinner, we were all seated at...

I finnaly put together a hack that allows me to enjoy some of the movies on the Netflix WatchNow feature. First go to this website or something similar and download the subtitle file: DivX SubTitles - Best place on the net for DivX, DVD and HDTV subtitles! Then, I had to create a ~2 hr...

I can provide a unique perspective because I had normal hearing untill I was in high school. I had absolutely no hearing on one side by the time I was 18, and now at the ripe old age of 28, I'm at the threshold of being "deaf" (rather than being hard of hearing). Do I miss music? no...

I think it's a fake.

Even if we get loads of signatures and the FCC does exactly what we ask, the TV networks are going to jump around this to pinch any pennies they can. This is why there's a writers strike right now. Every time a TV program is aired on TV, the people who wrote it get a small ammount of money...

I agree with the reply, and I'd like to add that ear plugs aren't just for hearing people. I know D/deaf people who can hear better than I can, but due to the nature of my hearing loss I still wear earplugs from time to time, not only to prevent me from loosing more hearing (natural causes have...

The idea was scrapped almost a year ago, the only info I could find though was a dead link dated back in February '07

I only wear the skin of an animal I'm willing to eat. such as cow.

This isn't the answer you want but, you could always disassemble your game pad, and disassemble a keypad and a joystick, and solder your gamepad contacts to the keypad and joystick contacts, and viola! or you can take extension cables (if they exist for the N64) and hack together your own...

I'll give you $10 for it (plus the $3 shipping) do you accept paypal? If not, I also suggest putting it up on ebay.

Do people actually reply via e-mail? I see that kind of thing a lot on the internet, though mostly in website / blog comment sections. I never send the person an e-mail. If they can't figure out how to come back and check the thread they started, or turn on e-mail notification they'll probably...

Bypass surgery is poor example if you're trying to make a case against a socialist government health care system. A far better example is the current problem with dentists in the UK. Sufferers pull out teeth due to lack of dentists - Telegraph National Health Service - Wikipedia, the free...

My speech comprehension is about 75% (0% on the left), having "normal" hearing until I was about 13 allows me to usually have excellent speech. Though as you're aware it's not like riding a bike. It's funny that you mention people think you're faking it, (by "it" I'm sure you mean your lack...

I agree, you have to look at the verses around this one. If you take it out of context, sure it looks like they're damning deaf people but I don't think that's what they're trying to say. In context it's condemning people who say "oh yeah I listen, I believe" but have actions that show...

ismi, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to use a soft phone. Running a cable from the speaker output on the sound card to the headset jack on the phone should do the trick. (you'll have to use one or more adapters but they're readily available from radio shack or online.) The trick is...

yeah! no batteries to replace.

I used a hearing aid for a while, a couple years back. I've since stopped using it because my hearing loss has progressed and it's not as helpfull any more... but it's more complicated thatn that; I had only one hearing aid because I've been 100% deaf on one side for most of a decade. I...

I found a product that I think will do what you need: PrivatePage&reg PS2000AN Paging System Base - Command Communications PS2000 You can attach up to two external buttons to it, read the user's manual for information, I looked and it should be easy to wire it to a doorbell. Total cost...

You should try a headset that has in-the-ear ear pieces and provides sound to both ears. I've read it's easier to understand speech when you hear it with both ears, (though I can't say from experience because I've been completely deaf on one side for about 10 years) I know what you mean by...

That's a neat site but the first thought in my mind was "I wish I could customize it for me" My audiogram starts at "normal" then drops sharply then back up a bit at 2khz, then drops again sharply to noting (100+ db) I did a quick search and found this!! http://holmessafety.org/hlsim/...
