I would not begin to speculate on your situation, however, in my research I have found that there are LOTS of cases of unexplainable hearing loss. I spoke to a genetic counselor (short of actually doing the blood test b/c it would prove nothing), and through the hundreds of questions about my...

Hey Bethwa, I have a nearly 9 year old who is in the moderate-severe hearing loss range and a 2 year old profoundly deaf. (Chalk this one up to genes!) I have normal hearing, and this is all new to me too. The little one did have some hearing and I don't know how rapidly she lost her hearing...

Thanks everyone! You are a huge help to us! :ily:

Maybe a stupid question that I should be asking Dr. Google, but is there a difference between a video phone and video chat forums like gchat, fb, skype, logitech, etc? (web cam)

It's all good :)

Keeper! (I'm learning a lot about speech reading -that is what I was "informed" it was called now?- and I watch my 2 year old, who did have some hearing and some speech before her deafness. If you mouth "mama" & "papa" it looks the same. Such a subtle difference. It's so not fair to make people...

GREAT information!! YES!! I will "mark" your name so I can chat with you. This is wonderful! Captions have been on since identification. For now, I don't see any need for signalers as we live very rural and if someone is coming over, we know it before hand and I always tell them that...

Makes sense. I prefer texting more times than not, actually. (Just don't have much to say usually) My oldest is pushing 9, so I know I'm close to needing to get her something. Thanks for that tip, d!

What is it about the Sidekick? Anything specific or is it text messaging that was the glory?

I am working hard to stay out of the "ignorant hearing people" category, but, really, I am. But not disrespectfully, if that is any consolation? I am SO VERY new at this and am trying very hard to make life the best for my kiddos as possible. If any of you would be willing to help me out, I...

Was it lonely for your mom b/c she stayed home? Did you do the family camp? That would be fantastic! I will have to look into a scholarship for her for this year. 2 pair of hearing aids is leaving us quite low on funds this year...

Hi! I, too, have a 2 year old with similar numbers as yours. It's nice to meet you! Are you learning ASL?

As a hearing mother of one profoundly deaf child and one mild to moderate hoh child, stories like these are crushing. As a parent, I do not want to miss a thing with my kiddos. I want to be able to have full, sensical and non-sensical, conversations with them, whether in ASL or English. I figure...

Wow! The Aspen Camp looks great! I think I might try to go next summer (2013)...Thanks again! :aw:

Awe! Thanks you guys! I know I'll have tons of questions :) These resources look great!

This community seems really amazing. I have been looking around and reading conversations. I am a hearing mom of a (newly identified) profoundly deaf 2 1/2 year old and a HOH 9 year old. We are trying aids for the little one and the older one is aided as well. We are very rural and live...
