Yes, we're using Learning American Sign Language by Humphries and Padden.

I recently started attending my first sign class with a deaf instructor. He speaks clearly and also signs everything he's saying so you can pick up signs that haven't yet been taught in class. I have mild to moderate hearing loss and wear a hearing aid, but I'm wondering if I'd be more receptive...

I don't know if this fits your budget, but the CROS hearing aid is made for single-sided deafness. You wear two units with the one from the fully deaf side transmitting sounds to the side with better hearing. Phonak CROS - Overview | Phonak - life is on

I have a pink, black and clear mold with a fuchsia-pink hearing aid. I'm looking to get a new mold sometime soon but can't think of any color or color combination I'd want. Definitely don't want clear or flesh colored.

I attended my first sign class on Monday, and it was so great! There were nursing students, social workers, athletes, babysitters, and a couple with a deaf daughter who all wanted to learn to communicate with the different people they interact with. I have mild to moderate hearing loss and wear...

Are you able to get a soft mold? I was given the option when my impression was taken, and the hard mold just seemed like it'd be really uncomfortable so I went for silicone.

I'm pretty confident the change in sound quality can be attributed to the wider tube size. I got my hearing aid while I was in the process of moving, and was only able to have it adjusted once before leaving town. I always felt I wasn't getting enough amplification. I was set to have an...

I'll be fitted with a second hearing aid next month, and will be ordering new ear molds. When I got my first aid last year, I initially used an open fit dome and found it horribly uncomfortable. I'd have to push it far into my ear or it would pop out throughout the day, and the edge of the dome...

My hearing aid is translucent pink, and the ear mold is clear with bright pink and black swirls. I'll be getting a matching hearing aid in my other ear soon, and plan to switch to clear molds with gold glitter.

26 here. My aid is bright fuchsia with a pink and black mold.

I've found that using those thin, fuzzy pipe cleaners in the tube helps clear out the moisture that accumulates throughout the day. I get mine at Michaels, but I'd imagine they can be found at any craft store. They come in 25 packs for a couple bucks. My ears don't get waxy enough to push wax...

I've heard this about directionality, and I think it's worth looking into. Even though my loss is mild (45-50db in the higher frequencies) I have no discrimination of where the sounds I hear are coming from, with or without my aid.

RoseRodent, I'm in California. I took spring semester off, and summer semester will be my first experience with a hearing aid in the classroom. I'm familiar with the concept of a loop system, but I have no idea whether or not my school is equipped with one. Are they ADA mandated or at all common...

Hey everyone! I'm new, both to the forum and as a hearing aid user. I was diagnosed with mild/moderate hearing loss last year although I've dealt with mild hearing issues since my late teens. Hearing aids were recommended, but as a college student I could only afford one. My hearing loss is more...

I'm a third year college student. While I've experienced some hearing difficulties since my late teens, I've only recently been diagnosed with mild/moderate loss and fitted with a hearing aid. My boyfriend, who is hearing but has a Deaf family member, suggested learning ASL and we'll be taking...
