Thank you! I just feel it's the right thing to do. My brothers and sister in law are all learning with me. It's quite nice. I have heard of the School for the Deaf in or around KC. If KC, which I'm assuming they do, has a group that meets once a month, I would so go. I can't seem to find...

You have no idea how badly I want people to do that sometimes. It drives me bananas. My hearing loss is genetic on my dads side. It just went away gradually over a few months then was gone. Its been that way for 7 years now. I honestly don't even remember what its like to have stereo and be able...

Yeah, the lady that is helping me with all of this is with Vocational Rehab. The one in my area wouldn't even consider me because they said I'm only half deaf, so I called the Springfield office and they're are trying very hard to help me. I just scheduled my next hearing test for a few weeks...

That's quite alright ;) If you know of anyone on here that may be able to help me with that, it would be amazing hahah

You are from Joplin? Do you happen to know if there is a deaf community there? I've been trying to find people to meet up with, its so hard. I have one good friend who is deaf and he just moved from Springfield so he is trying to find people as well.

I am currently learning ASL. Hearing loss is genetic for me and since my hearing in my good ear will most likely be gone in the next few years, I need to be able to communicate, especially for whenever I have kids, who will be at risk for hearing loss as well. Joplin is in Missouri. Easily...

I would probably do the same thing. I'm a Hairstylist, I would need them with the constant sound of clippers and hair dryers, I can hardly ever hear what my guests are saying. I'm just afraid I won't qualify for help with my hearing aids. I can't remember what decibel she said my right (good)...

I've been wondering a bit about this, I have SSD and I feel as though no one thinks its that bad because I still have one good ear (for now, as it's slowly declining). However, I struggle every day with understanding what is going on unless I am in a completely quiet environment and have...

I keep reading about BAHA, I need to do more research on it though. My audiologist thinks I would do better with Phonak CROS, I've been trying to get them for a year an a half. They're $2600, which I have saved nearly half and have someone trying to help me get a discount on them, since I make...

I'm really excited about it. Growing up, I was friends with a girl who was completely deaf and I learned sign from her. This was, of course, before I lost my hearing and its been so long I don't remember a lot of what she taught me. However, since I won't begin the ASL course until the fall...

Does anyone have Single Sided Deafness and use the Phonak CROS hearing aids? I'm in the process of getting a pair and I'm really excited about it but curious to see some reviews on them.

Hello! :wave: My name is Milly. I've been completely deaf in one ear for seven years now and am losing my hearing in the other. Still trying to get hearing aids and getting ready to enroll in ASL courses. I'm looking for people to meet up with, in my area and still have yet to find anything. I...

Hello, I'm looking for a group that meets in Joplin. My audiologist told me there was one that meets regularly but I'm having trouble finding one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using AllDeaf App mobile app
