I am wondering if u r late deafened because I had a hard time w water running as a result of going hoh in my 20s. Obviously I relied on audio cues for certain things like that. She will get it. You have to make your brain rewire not to rely on audio cues. I don't remember how long it took. Less...

I'm confused. I only saw a minute of it before I had to leave, but it seemed like he wanted to testify?

What's all this going on now with the judge and George's attorne? If he wants to ttestify, his attorney should let him

FB is its own catch 22. I don't out up personal stuff, but then again, I hear criticism that it's a place u make yourself seem perfect if you do not up any personal stuff. So probably I'm guilty of the second because if I'm having problems, I don't post them on FB, but if things are going good...

In the last ten days, I countes ten posts, although I went four days w out posting anything, one day I posted four things. Averages our to once a day I guess, but I'm not sure if averaging is an honest assessment to your question. Same thing with this site. I have 216 posts and have been a...

Depends on the day. In the last seven days, i've posted one picture of my daughter and two statuses updates. Some days I have posted five things in a day. Totally depends on thw day/week/my mood

I didnt realize this thread was about deaf children either from the original post. Maybe I need to reread also. I thought it was asking is ci for deaf people's benefit or hearing people's benefit. When it comes to children, most deaf adults who were deaf as children are very against parents...

:giggle: I remember those commercials! Remember Wayne's World when him and Garth pulled up to that limo? Classic!

I'm so sorry. This is a familiar story to many people who started losing their hearing as adults. Your post makes me sad because I can relate to so much of what you say and it brings back bad memories and feelings. I don't really have advice, you just take it day by day, maybe get a new job if u...

But all of this talk of employment costs supports the idea that CI made for hearing and not deaf if we think about the original question...because basically, they COULD accommodate us, but it isn't cost effective, so getting a CI for this reason makes it better for employer, not necessarily deaf...

Also once an employer has paid the initial cost of wheelchair access, they don't have much ongoing expenses. My employer has expenses every single hour I work. Makes me more costly and less desirable to hire I'd think.

I can relate. I got a job 100 percent based on application, writing samples, and references. When I went to HR and requested a terp, they were not happy at all because the terp cost more per hour than they pay me. It was too late for them though because I had already signed all paperwork for...

Why would u wait until u need it to learn it? Learn it now so u have it when u need it. I learned asl and im hoh, not deaf. It already helps me so much and saves me so much headaches from trying to lip reqd all the time. I strongly encourage you to learn it now and encourage yout family to as...

Yes I think it might be a benefit for me maybe and help me, especially at work and when I'm in public by myself, or when I'm around big gatherings and lots of people talking at once so that I wouldn't miss put on so much of what is going on. I also think it could make things easier for my...

My dr said it could be an option for me at my last visit. I chose no for now at least, but when I was weighing the option, I thought about both the benefit for me as well as the benefit for my family. So I guess you could say maybe for both hearing and deaf?

Soooo far over the line. Some people are just clueless and tactless Maybe her mother never taught her basic personal skills.

Only my daughtet has learned ASL since I started losing my hearing. I love her so much for that. For now, mu husband chooses not to. I am going to start using hearing aids soon. I hope before too long, my son and husband willl learn asl. I see they have picked up a few signs watching my...

So sad! Lived here a long time and never heard of a plane crash in this area. I hope most people will live. Not a good sign though if the midsection is burnt out :(

Hi, I have three brothers and a dad who all live in Australia. It's very pretty there. I wish it wasn't so expensive to fly there from the states. I'd go much more often!

Its funny because I am only one county away from you (15 minutes) and they are banned here. I drive to your city to buy them lol. I just bought a whole bunch a few days ago :naughty:
