    What dating app do you use?

    I'm sorry someone stole your number; that must be scary and frustrating. Tinder is far from the only dating app. Bumble is one led by women, invented by a woman that had a hand in designing Tinder but it morphed into something she wasn't pleased with so she made her own. Bumble lets the woman...

    Questions/ A Discussion on Being Part of the Deaf Community

    Hey Bex, I have seen the drive-thru still be possible. Just stop to see what you want; type it up and pull up to the first window. I can't promise it will be smooth sailing every time because every interaction with anyone will be different but I think it could work more often than not; from the...

    I am glad you're happy with InnoCaption. That's great. When she said she was going to try both, also great. I like comparisons. And, SURE, I'm positive others could give me their input and I'd welcome it. However, Bex and I have been corresponding privately and building a rapport. So, context...

    Motivating my hearing teenager as a Deaf Mom

    If it were me; I'd level with her in your way. Let her know "hey, I MISS you." I miss being able to hear you and talk to you and know what is happening with you. You are not alone, Neither of us need to feel this way. Let's do this together. Learn at a class in the community together? Surely...

    What dating app do you use?

    Tinder certainly isn't the only option but it is the only one I used back then. Update: We are 4.5 years strong now! :) I stand by my previous post; I'm not sure the platform matters as much as what you put into it. Write in DETAIL. What are you looking for, from what kind of person? Everyone...

    Hi

    There are usually housing programs in a person's area. You could look for them and assist him in the process? I live in Missouri and help people find housing through my job. There is usually a county office for resources for people that are Deaf or Blind. I would start googling and find where...

    Advice For Helping Deaf Loved One Recover from Injury

    That's a great idea, Barbaro. I hope it helps. In the same vein, what about favorite smells? Olfactory is the most powerful since for memory recall; that could be soothing. Also, how is she doing Notsounique?

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    Is it a simplification? Sure. But not by that much and people thinking about getting one would know that; we're really tearing apart expressions now? You thought the risks were worth it and I'm truly happy there were not many complications for you. That isn't the case for everyone; minimizing...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    Either way, it's a choice and if a person doesn't want CI's...that's it. They don't need more information, persuasion, or are somehow wrong. Their bodies. That's it. No to an elective surgery, in general. I respect their choice. People getting snarky on here about the minutia are missing the...
