Does Gallaudet ever have any seminars on ASL or anything like that? I'm already out of college & working otherwise I'd apply. But I'd love to at least take a class there or a seminar. I guess I could write to them & ask. Julia

Anij, I love your hoh/deaf page it is really good! It reminded me to ask the audiologist or whoever it is at my appointment about sounds seeming really loud (now I cant remember the word ~ recruitment, maybe? LOL) because I never told the last audiologist I saw! That might be important when I...

I'm HOH but the way I look at it is that being HOH is only a disability in situations where the majority of society has set it up to be that way. At home being HOH isn't a disability because I have it set up so that I know everything I need to know (like with flashing lights and vibrating...

On my last date with my boyfriend he told me, "well, why don't you teach me ASL? That way we can talk using it!" How cool is that??? From a hearing guy who knows I'm HOH but didn't realize how much I was HOH until I told him last week (ha can fool people with lipreading). Plus he's going with...

What is so fun about setting off fire alarms in the middle of the night anyway?? One guy I was talking to said his freshman year the alarms might go off 4 or 5 times a night in really cold weather!! :eek:

Congratulations, Nancy, on your new BTE! I like the one you picked too. It sounds great!! That is nice that you can wait to pay until you see if you like it or not.

I was born with a moderate hearing loss of unknown origin.

I know one ~ Laura Bridgeman, deafblind

Hi!! I have to say to all relay operators: :ily: !!! (grin) But seriously does My IP Relay tell people that the relay service is for deaf and hoh people? When I've talked to people in person after talking to them through the My IP Relay (the one on AOL IM) they've said that they don't say...

I like these quizzes! They're fun!

Look at this! "Baby blue" and "baby pink" colored HAs!!!! I NEED these!! They're from Phonak Valeo. http://tinyurl.com/bcasl

Thanks!! I saw a real audiologist for my first hearing test and this one is a dispenser. So I'll have had a test done by both by the time I get the hearing aids! It takes forever to get an appointment with the audi I saw the first time, and the only other one around here never called me back...

Hi!! I'm going on Monday (a week from today) to figure out what kind of hearing aids I'm going to buy. They're going to do a more thorough hearing test than the one I had before, and I have to bring my boyfriend because they're going to test me partly using his voice, which should be...

This is really sad. I will miss him. I knew he was sick but I didn't realize how sick he was. :ily: too Peter Jennings! I'm sorry you've left us.

HI!!! OK now that I am done "yelling" ~ My name's Julia and I'm HOH. Even though my hearing (or lack of) affected my speech and communication I was raised without hearing aids and taught to completely deny the fact that I had any hearing loss at all. I went for years relying on...
