    Looking for a place I can move in

    It may sound silly but that are simulators and even game apps (redecor) that let you design a room so you can better visualize it first. Good luck with the renovation!

    Advice on a controversial topic: PLEASE READ PLEASE HELP

    Can you go to a school board meeting; perhaps with a certified interpreter? Expose her lack of knowledge/skill publically? It seems you tried to be diplomatic about it and I applaud you. You're right, this needs to be stopped. Exposing the issue could help. If not; there is always the state...

    Cochlear implants, do they help?

    I am not sure what medical system you use but Cox and Mercy now both have apps that can be downloaded to your phone. This gives access to your entire medical file. You can make appointments through the app instead of calling the office. You can even email your provider questions and they get...

    Cochlear implants, do they help?

    This experience is told often and it's a shame on those doctors. Not from a place of pity but I am sorry this is a reality for so many of you. Please know you have allies that try; myself among them. I try in my line of work to give as much of your "voice" to those doctors. I do NOT tolerate...

    Yesterday at the post office ...

    They do include any service dog. They can not exclude; I'd make sure it had the vest on to let them know it is working and keep going as normal.

    Coronavirus: A real health threat or not?

    They aren't my numbers. They were published by the CDC. You said you wouldn't air your disagreement as you do it?? That makes sense. It's fine to disagree but these are facts and not fake news. Hopefully that era is almost over.

    I've ASD. Not checked for APD. Are we hearing?

    This man talks at length about being HOH; specifically having trouble understanding speech. I hope this helps. Barbaro was right; your doctor should have given you a referral to an audiologist. I'm sorry for what you are going through and hope help is on the way.

    Hi! I am new to this so I don't know if this is how it works, SORRY!!

    First and foremost. LEARN ASL. It will give you options and confidence. You can find a community and resources to help. Deaf people can do all the things you want to be but everyone needs a language and communications go both ways. There are college courses, Bill Vicars (a deaf professor) posts...
