    Does anyone here use BAHA?

    You misinterpreted what I meant and jumped to conclusions. The term "bone anchor" makes me feel uncomfortable in the same way the term "knee joint replacement" makes me feel uncomfortable. That is, because it's done via a medical procedure involving bone. I realize that cochlear implant surgery...

    Does anyone here use BAHA?

    That makes no sense. I can be curious about whatever I want ;) but thanks for your unnecessary and uninformative interjection! I'm sure there are plenty of deaf/hh people who are interested in how Baha works who would never get one -- should they not ask questions either? The OP, for example?

    Hearing people who are attracted to deaf people

    Well, I'm a hearing girl who is attracted to a deaf person :P but prior to my partner I hadn't really thought about being in a relationship with a deaf person, let alone actively sought deaf people to date. The person I love is smart, kind, funny, beautiful, fun to be around, and also happens to...

    Does anyone here use BAHA?

    Not at all, I'm just genuinely curious! When I was looking up Cochlear clinics on their website I noticed that the locations were sorted by Cochlear and Baha, and when I asked my boyfriend what Baha was he didn't know either (he's deaf, I'm hearing).

    Does anyone here use BAHA?

    Wait wait, can you take it off like a cochlear implant, or is it always sticking out of your head? Bone anchor....that term just makes me feel uncomfortable.

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    Warning, I'm not an expert on this stuff at all, I just looked up some info about VP because I didn't know how they work, technologically-speaking! Hmmmm, I think it depends on what you both mean, how you're defining a telephone. I mean VP not a telephone in the traditional sense, because VP...

    How do you explain a complicated past love life to your SO?

    I think it really depends on the person! Some people would rather not have full disclosure, and others would like complete openness and honesty. I don't think full disclosure is necessary if you're not comfortable with it; you're in the present, a person need not know everything about your past...

    Were you born in America though? Idk Chinese morality is different from our morality here. They don't value children/life in general in China the way we do here.

    What good thing happened to you today?

    Made reservations for this awesome "Spirits of the Past" event at this 1800s era village nearby. I called and inquired about an interpreter for my partner and they were really accommodating, which is always awesome. I'm exciteddddddd :D I think they're doing a Sleepy Hollow scene with a headless...

    Anyone having trouble on FB??

    Mine's working fine. One time though, I logged into facebook and was somehow logged into a total stranger's account. I had full access too...could talk to all of their friends/see their friends profiles, read their messages etc. It was really strange.

    why do hearing people think they better than us?

    I'm hearing and I don't think I'm better than any one, regardless of hearing status, class, religious affiliation, gender, race etc. I think it's unfair to overgeneralize that way and say "all hearing people feel this way". No group of people, whether majority or minority hold all of the same...

    Hearing girl looking for a deaf guy

    I never understand these posts. I'm a hearing girl and my partner is deaf....but why would you actively look for someone based on deafness? Then you're not appreciating a person for who they are. You'd be basing your relationship on the person's disability, and thus overlooking their person as a...

    I've definitely heard squishy sounds come from a little kid digging around in their nose before :eek:

    Students Looking for ASL buddies

    Would any one be interested in video chatting on aim or facebook sometime? I'm not an ASL student really...I'm trying to learn on my own (my partner is deaf). I sign to him (really basic, I don't know a lot of nouns and the verbs I know are all very common) but he mostly speaks to me, so I suck...
