I don't think that your grandmother should know. I would never tell my grandmother this kind of stuff. If you're on BC and you take it EVERY DAY then it's OK. just don't do it under her roof when she's home. Just do not get caught! it's rude to do it when your grandmother's home. it's...

I'm not understanding your question here. what kind of advice are you seeking?

Nope. I grew up profoundly deaf and got my CI when I was 21. CI is not magic. I just dont.. become capable to have conversations w/o seeing people. I don't know your background but if you had hearing before and lost it at an older age, you're more likely to have conversations w/o seeing people...

I feel you. I'm deaf myself but I do get you in a way. I noticed that the older generation or the deaf people that doesn't go to college tend to do this. I remember that I graduated from college and came home to my deaf community.. I would get comments from them about me graduating.. some of...

How exciting! I got mine when I was 21! Stock up you fridge with gatorade and pudding!!! and.. remember to follow your doctor's order w/ the pain killers!!! I was taking 2 at a time and was supposed to reduce to 1 pill at a time after the 2nd or 3rd day and forgot.. so i was going NUTS! I went...

I graduated from RIT and I did go to Gallaudet for a year. Both are GREAT but if he wants to be in BOTH world (hearing and deaf), RIT would be a great fit for him. It also depends on his major.... I believe that RIT would be a better fit because it has both world AND more likely will...

It's so nice to see a parent doing what is best for their child. :) I grew up mainstreamed then I made the decision to go to a deaf school when I was a Freshman. Just pay attention to the contents that they taught in school, sometimes deaf schools are hard to keep up... like there would be...

wow, that's not so bad!!! he can pull it off functionally in the hearing world BUT please do expose him to ASL as well, so that he can have the best of both world. a person w/ that hearing loss can speak/hear well if you send him to speech classes, but not just speech, have some kind of...

careful Hi :) Just becareful with using the O near the mouth b/c it could look like something "oral" if you know what I'm trying to say. Try to do a movement that's not like obvious... maybe have the O on the side of his forehead/top of the head? did you know that more and more...

<--- have a father that doesn't sign I'm profoundly deaf and I'm in my late 20's. I grew up oral b/c my parents "thought" that was the BEST method for me and I don't blame them for making that decision b/c they are doing what they thought was best for me. I finally learned how to sign when I...

You mentioned that asl lessons is out of your price range... what about tutors. maybe a college student need to make extra money... you can pay them like $20 or even less for an hour. I charge clients $20 an hour. I probably would do less if they asked me kindly.

wow.. sounds like it's just.. HER being.. HER. I'm not a parent of deaf children but.. I'm deaf and my parents are hearing. My mom said that I was a great child. I don't scream or grunt in public. when I was a baby, if I cry or scream or make noises, mom would EXPLAIN To me that it's loud...

Hi. I don’t blame you for feeling this way. I can’t say that I don’t “understand” what you’re going through but I’ve seen it thru my parents. I’m deaf myself and they made the toughest decision by sending me to an oral school for the deaf. I was raised with speaking only. I didn’t learn sign...

Test Aw! Lovely pictures of Grayson! What a doll! :) I'm deaf myself and I used hearing aids all of my life until the age of 21, I decided to go for Cochlear Implants (CI). When I was a baby, between 6-9mths, my parents took me to the docs and the doc walked behind me and clapped his...

don't listen to that guy hey there I would recommend you not to listen to “deafdyke”. I’m deaf myself and I wouldn’t recommend you to contact the state’s deaf schools. From what I heard, they’re not doing so well lately. (depends on which state). Since your son is hard of hearing, my...

i have a different opinion. maybe b/c you're an embarrassment to the deaf world. there are times when deaf people embarrass me... like if i go to public places with group of deaf friends... one of them would be yelling, one of them would be banging tables, one of them would bump into...

Hello! <-- from South jersey Why can't you learn from your sister? Ask her that you would like about 15 mins per a day for her to sit down with you and teach you the basics? Go by category for each time. I am deaf myself and I use my voice with my family and... it's easier for them to just...
