    Jury Duty

    Who called You a deafie? "We deafies" is an option you can opt in or out, just like deaf or Deaf. Some would take offense to Hearing Impaired as it may imply the person is defect; which isn't true either. If a person is deaf, they get to identify how they want. Don't take offense where none was...

    "No way to know without checking it out." Davies said to himself and he braced for the pelting rain.

    Just then he saw a flutter of curtain and knew he was being watched. Chills came over him that had nothing to do with the brisk morning.

    Pub quiz anyone ?

    That sounds like a lovely idea! Maybe post the questions on Friday evening; allow participants time to answer around their schedule and post the answers Sunday evening? That could be fun :) What a neat idea. I'm glad you reached out and join the community. Welcome :)

    What kind of mobile phones do deaf people need?

    The original post asked about a sort of screening feature when answering the phone. Google Pixels have this ability. When the phone vibrates to tell you about a call; you can hit screen call. The phone then asks the person to identify themselves and why they are calling. From there you can...

    Does body heat affect hearing aids, such as sweat?

    Idk about hearing aids but as a mental health care professional I thought I'd pass a completely unrelated tidbit of information as the temperatures rise. Anti-psychotics. Past about 85 degrees; they aren't as effective. This happens for a few reasons that snowball into each other. They can make...

    Single father looking for a relationship.

    In my humble opinion, yes. I think it helps to get to know someone's mind before getting confused by the hormones of it all. I've been with my partner for over 3 years; we met on Tinder. His cousin found his wife and mother of two on Tinder over 5 years ago. Being transparent about what you...

    What dating app do you use?

    I found my boyfriend of the last 3 years on Tinder. His cousin found his wife on Tinder. They're happily married with two kids 5 years later. The real tip is to FILL OUT that profile. Give people a real glimpse of not only who you are but what you are looking for in a partner. Yes, it has a hook...

    My anxiety gets worse!

    One of the best things we can do for ourselves is knowing when to say enough is enough in a day. All we can do is our best and if we are pushing past out limits to those levels of anxiety; we aren't capable of giving out best. Take a step back and breathe. What HAS to be done today? What can...

    Where to buy reputable and safe hearing aids? Coupons?

    An audiologist can make a referral for a program called Starky. The hearing aids are high quality but discounted because an audiologist in training is the one to make the molds. Similar to a dental hygiene student being cheaper for a cleaning. They are generally based out of local universities...
