I do better with my hearing aid, but nowadays, I have lipreading issues in the morning and late enough at night. God. Especially when my roommate Ryan talks to me because his enunciation is atrocious. Thank God my boyfriend Alan has near perfect enunciation.

PTSD can hamper the ability to keep a job. I have a friend who gets fired every time he has an episode at work. It is a very real disability.

I have flown on airplanes before. Just as long as you remove hearing aids and yawn as you go up, you'll be fine.

If I could contact my 16-year-old self, I would have advised the following: Don't bother with Driver's Ed. It's a waste of 70 bucks because the 'rents won't sign for a license anyway. Stop bullying Nate so much. He has the same problem with the 'rents. Gang up on them instead. Stop belittling...

More confessions: I love video games! So far, I'm okay at Guitar Hero, Fable II, and Fallout 3. If my boyfriend buys more games, I probably will try them as well. I wear men's boxers, not even boy shorts for women. I sleep almost nude. :naughty: I have gotten drunk without ever getting a...

Well, thank you Deaf-Tim. I'm bi.:lol: I also get what you mean about controlling parents. I changed my name on facebook and blocked them to get them to stop snooping. I'm thinking of changing my name to Kharism for real.

Omg! Me 2! I used to own 2 cockateils! They are fun birds! Although one of them, Lucky, used to hiss at me whenever I opened the cage to take Tweety out. They have since died and I do still miss them. I was very distraught for weeks when each of them died. :( Awesome birds though. Someday...

Hello all, Yes, I'm autistic. I read up on it after I was diagnosed in college. A lot of things described me to a T: hatred of tags and other irritants on clothes, difficulty reading emotion, even the nasty temper, somewhat picky with food (ie I like baked potatoes but I hate mashed potatoes...

Just Halloween preparations, vampire fangs to customize, scrubs to splatter with fake blood, make-up design to tweak, work schedule details to obtain (hoping to work morning so I can party later), etc. etc. What about you? By the way, I'm Kharism. I am also deaf, but with the misfortune of an...

Hello, my name is Kharism. I was adopted and raised to speak English. That's fine, I like speaking English. But I feel like that my hearing specialist mother was an idiot not to teach me sign language as well. I have lost my hearing aid recently and I don't have the means to replace it right...

Hi, About the earmolds. I currently use a hearing-aid for my left ear. My earmold is soft, but the tube is snapped in instead of glued and there is a vent hole next to that, but it doesn't converge at all. Maybe the converging thing is the problem as it is less likely to allow the pressure to...

Confessions of Kharism: I'm bilaterally deaf due to cochlear defects. I have one CI that works but I only hear white noise for everything. My other ear functions well with a hearing-aid but I don't have one. Lost it. I have mild Asperger's Syndrome, I do many very strange things. I love...

Ack! I hate those! I recently got an ear infection (I did wonder about a burst drum, but it still works when I manage to shove the damn earmold into my ear...so I don't think so.) and then I lost my hearing-aid. Just great. Life sucks. It also makes me really wish I was placed with a Deaf...
