:eek3: okay.

The only one throwing stuff around all the time would be me:D
My husband sometimes throws things at me to get my attention, but I'm okay with that. From time to time I do that as well.
But no one else ever tried that.
 
Tapping shoulders, flashing overhead lights and waving your hand to get the D/d/HH person's attention all works.

If somebody threw something at me I think I'd go on the war path and toss everything in the room right back at them!

And a nurse yelled at you in your face? Really? I'd think I'd say something like, Wow. Guess what. I'm still deaf. And give her the notebook and pen.


I still don't understand why so many people in the health field are so ignorant about how to communicate with the D/d/HH. You'd think that their schools would include about 15 minutes of class time to get across some basic facts on the subject.
 
I know its really sad we have put with this .the only things we can do is share, how we feel we should be treated and fight for rights ,...
 
My kids don't even throw things at me. They will stomp on the floor, or come over to me. At the water park yesterday the life gaurds even tapped my shoulder since they saw me signing. Will he be open to listening to how you feel? I hope so. What color are the rooms going to be?
 
ha-- I would just simply say you just made me deafer ( is it possible? :D) by yelling at me. Please whisper to bring my hearing back..:deaf::ty:

IF the man nurse continued to yell, I'd just have him reported, just as I was a hearing patient. :cool2:
 
Well Vorsia if your boyfriend is acting in the manner you describe-consider why you continue "allowing" such ineffective communication interaction to continue?

Does he not know the extent of your "hearing loss"? What effect in the future which will mean even more correct accurate ways to "gain your attention"?

The above is from my prior CHS-Cdn Hearing Society-Coping with your Hearing Loss classes here in Toronto.They defined it as being "assertive" in ongoing interaction.

I am now bilateral DEAF since December 2006.

No easy answer to say the least on how one's reacts due to "hearing loss" in every social spoken interaction. Your choice what/how you react.
Right-not fair however that is life.

My kids are still very young i cant get my daughter to listen but the boys! Well thats another story.the boys rooms will be lucky shamrock.green, if thought it would be nice do to them being part irish.
 
Have you ever tried asking them to go for a day role playing you? (Have them put in some ear plugs.) And then you surprise them just like they surprise you in order to get their attention. Then maybe they will understand.

Thats a great idea
 
Heh, last time my boyfriend threw something at me to get my attention, I threw it right back and twice as hard. Which led to an all out war that was actually quite fun.

It's not often though that people throw things, my sons sometimes do that but they never throw anything hard nor do they throw hard, it's a balled up piece of paper or whatever that they would toss at me and they would do that only if waving their hands or yelling didn't catch my attention. It's my experience people throw things as a last resort.

Anyway, at the end of the day, I'd rather people do what they can to catch my attention to talk to me than not try at all :)
