Single, hearing with hh son attending deaf school. Learning asl. Dated the past 9 yrs but never anything too serious. Oregon, USA

Definitely discuss it with him. If he does not take your concerns into immediate consideration and put it to action... Then you are gonna be unhappy over and over again. Relationships are so hard anyway and then putting in language or communication barriers.. Makes it rough. Hopefully you can...

The deaf community is so small. Compared to the hearing! And my guess from observation, more often than not, deaf are more cautious as to who they let in their circle of friends. I want more deaf and hoh friends but then again i do not want them to think i am using them as a free teacher for...

I am hearing and my son is hoh. His dad is hoh, almost deaf... I find that some ppl both young and old prefer deaf only ... But some Re fine either way. I often hear deaf complain how hearing are snobs.. But i also see and hear of so many hearing trying to learn to sign and make friends with...

Single, hearing, female, 36, OREGON, USA I am a single 36 yr old female from oregon, usa. I have been single for a little over a year.. But the last serious relationship was my hoh sons dad 8.5 yrs ago. I am interested in dating a deaf or hoh guy that maybe lives in oregon as well. :)

Depends on how you want to define Single ;) I ended things with my sons father in May 2006. I have dated quite a few men, lasting 1 week to 1 1/2 months. I dated another man for 3 months. I have been "seeing" a guy off and on for the past 5 months, but we are just "FRIENDS" lol So, im...

I am hearing. I met my (now ex) online. I didnt know he was almost deaf until we talked on the phone... his speech was different.. then he finally told me. I accepted it. He came from East coast to West coast to live with me. We made a baby, then we broke up. The hearing or non hearing...

The youngest i ever dated was 7 yrs younger than i, him 23 and me 30. The oldest was 24 1/2 yrs older than me, him 56 and me 31. Age didnt play a role in our separations...other reasons... however, i prefer a man a little older than me... maybe in his 40's, im currently 32.

Hello and thank you for your information and comparison to your experiences :) My son has been in a DHH program since he was 4 months old... and so, he has been exposed for a long time. We had decided to take him away from concentrating so much on sign language in school and such, because his...

hellos245... thats great that you are moving here.. Where will you be coming from? And why are you choosing to move to Portland, OR? It is nice here. Lots of rain, but it just makes the few nice days MUCH MORE NICE lol I look forward to chatting with you before you move here :)

Glenn, yes, you are correct...it could progress like his dad's.... however, no one else in his family that was born HofH (sons fathers mom, brother, gramma and daughter) never got worse... but yes, we are preparing and signing is fun and useful regardless. ;) And yes, you are literally just...

Hello bebonang and thank you for the welcome :) Yes, i think Sign is important and he is really excited to learn. I also speak spanish, so he thinks he wants to try that too, but Sign is much more important for him ;) I am excited to read more posts and respond to others when i can make time...

Hello Danny. I am hearing, with HoH 5 yr old son. We are just now learning Sign... but have far to go... My sons dad grew up going to the SC School for the Deaf and Blind, he is almost deaf i think. I am in Portland Oregon... I just made a new friend at my new job that went to the OSD ...

Hello to everyone. I am hearing, however my son is HoH. He has a bilateral moderate to severe loss of hearing. He uses aids. It is hereditary from his fathers side. Dad has a severe, almost total loss of hearing, but he is not near us to help teach us Sign. My son is 5. He does not NEED...

I wanted to start learning sign language when i first got together with my (now ex) bf about 2 yrs ago, because he is fluent with ASL.. and then really when we had our baby, and he is also hard of hearing.... then on my own (since daddy was no longer with us) I started teaching my son signs, and...
