I agree that no one can tell you what to do, but I can sympathize. When my HoH gf and I were visiting her friend, friend's family and relations, over Thanksgiving one of the elderly relatives (someone's grandmother) told my gf for some reason that she should "stop that" and "didn't need to use...

Thanks for the reply! Actually I do not know if we'll head straight to DC or if we'll stop somewhere on the way (for instance if I go to UPenn for grad school, in Philadelphia). When I googled the city (Phili, not DC) and "deaf" I saw a lot of businesses (and a couple schools) pop up, but I'm...

My gf and I are, at some point in the next few years, hoping to move to Washington DC (or related areas). But I am also hoping to go to graduate school in that time frame (after a short, money-building, break). Since she is HoH I was hoping to check areas around the schools I am interested in...

I am looking to improve more with ASL, and although my partner recommended the Vista series it is expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew of another series that is cheaper, or where to buy the Vista series cheaper than $70/book? Thanks for any input :)

That's actually what I'm hoping to achieve! Maybe I can ask my friend if she knows of any, without giving away why of course. :) Thanks!

I was wondering how many people on here have ever tried signing a song? I may or may not be up to this, as a surprise for someone I may or may not know (all right, I think that's enough double talk). I know all the signs at this point for what I'm trying to do, but I'm trying to make it as...

Thank you for all the responses! :) I understand a bit more now about how CIs work, and how the child would be deaf if the surgery is done regardless of the previous status, but what about HAs? Maybe I misunderstand exactly what they do, but don't they amplify sound? If a child is not hoh (or...

Hello, I am new here and I was just reading around about CIs and HAs - especially the thread(s) by jesse. I was wondering if there was any instance of a child who was misdiagnosed with hearing loss who either went through with CIs or HAs? If so, what ended up happening to them? Sorry if this...

:: raises hand :: I just graduated with two BS degs in Math/Physics :cool:

I know I'm new here, but what if the sign for "mom" (or "dad") was moved from center, with one being slightly right and the other slightly left? (i.e. for "dad" touching each temple rather than the forehead)

hi! i'm new also :D

:: waves back at everyone ::

Hello! I became interested in ASL when I took ASL I & II at a community college where I grew up. Now I'm trying to seriously buffer my skills because it has been awhile since I've had a signing partner and I've now started to develop a further need to be better at signing to communicate better...
