Agree 100%. Some people find their comfort level and decide that's where they're happy and don't want/need something better or change. I did one year at Gally, hated it because of the people, and was happy to leave and finish at a public university. Gally had great courses/professors, but the...

If you want your message to be received better, on this board for deaf and hh people, please use sign language. I could barely get any understanding of what your message is/was, but I'm sure you have something important to say. Kenai

Are you looking to teach ASL or use ASL to teach in a specialized school or classroom? As for teaching ASL to college students, unless you're a full professor, you won't be making too much money. I'm an associate prof teaching special education courses and make about $30k a year teaching four...

Hey all. Surgery this morning was a trip. The doctor removed 320cc's of blood, blood clots, and infectious crap from the right ear alone. He told me that once he made the incision, the eardrum burst and everything oozed out. Pretty picture, huh :) He used something to clean out the auditory...

I argued with my insurance company and there is a supplemental plan that I'm not/wasn't a part of but am now a part of. They will cover 25% of the HA for now and the cochlear implant at 90%+. I have surgery in the morning and am somewhat worried, but not really. My signing skills suck, but...

How messed up is it that insurance companies won't cover HA, but will cover CI??? I have to call tomorrow to find out everything from them. Thanks for the help :) :)

I go this week to have surgery on my right ear and then the following week on the left. The doctor found, with the help of an MRI and CT, large amounts of blood, blood clots, and infection in the auditory canals and behind the inner ear on both sides. He thinks there was trauma, but there...

Thanks a lot for the article. I've had tinnitus in one ear for about 6 years and was basically told to "deal with it." I'm completely deaf in that ear, so it's odd to me that I have the tone. I'm going to the ENT doc on Friday to try and figure out what happened to my decent ear and try to...

My eyes are 20/15. I can tell which side is up on a coin from 30 feet away. I couldn't imagine my eyesight going.

Get a cat. When someone honks, it'll go berzerk and you'll know when to procede with caution. :) :)

Deaf Like Me was written by Cohen, right?? If it's the book I'm remembering, it was very good. Just finished reading Missing Words. Very good book, too. My wife read it because she's doing many of the things that anger deaf or HOH people so much. She has stopped saying nevermind when I...

She was 96...RIP and Godspeed She was hot when she was younger, though.

Wow, a lot with my name...3,396. Only 221 with my wife's name

Yeah, there is. There is also a high rate of them getting damaged once they're in and working. I had one put in many years ago and it worked for about a week. It was removed and nothing else was discussed. Hang in there. We're all here for each other. We have to be...no one else wants us...

Added :) No one near me :( :(

I agree with others. You're a "good enough for now" girlfriend. If he shares nothing and causes you grief, you'd be better off without him. I don't know about him buying you things equating to love or lack there of, but that's how you choose to interpret things. Just because he doesn't spend...

For $60 million, I could come up with a much better design. Something that didn't make people wanna barf at the gaudiness of it. Plus, anything more than 5000 square feet is too hard for my wife to clean :) :) j/k

Just sign home and learn. If I remember right. Signing break over your heart w/ a sad face would express broken heart.

Bear, moose, and caribou. I love all those animals :)

Hang in there. Sometimes, family sucks. I've cut a few family members out of my life and haven't regretted it one bit. It's hard to do. I have family members who make fun of my hearing loss and say I'm faking. I don't deal with them anymore and stick with my immediate family and close friends.
