Hello

[David Harleyson]

I'm brand new to this forum. From Illinois. Full disclosure. I am a hearing person. My wife signs. Probalby because her sister is an interpreter. Her boyfriend is deaf. I'm not sure if "deaf" is a politically correct word to use. I truly don't know so, no offense.

I have tinnitis. I came here to ask a specific question and to learn. I feel I should post my question in the "General" section so that's what I'll do. If I make a mistake, obviously, please let me know.

Best!!

Deaf is perfectly fine. People identify themselves differently... deaf, hard of hearing, hearing impaired (though many do not like that term at all).
