American who went to uni - can you get a note-taker for your classes? It's definitely not too early to think of alternate careers. I had a career all mapped out and it required tons of communication - lawyer. I decided to take my time on committing to law school and went to go work for a state...

I'd like to know what kind of parenting techniques are good to practice if you are mostly deaf and have children (deaf or otherwise). I have anxiety towards being a dad because I don't want to misunderstand my child. I'm almost completely deaf and live in a hearing world. My wife is trying to...

Long time no see AllDeaf! Welp- first thread I dive into- "some crazy should-I-move-to-marry-boy-I-never-met"? Good memories ahhh yess. Jiroooo! Regulating. Anyways, I'm thinking about how late it is and how all deaf is doing. Oh yeah the source of my stress/insomnia. So my mother decided to...

deaf social tomorrow...hopefully there's people there :)

I'm Hard of Hearing but I absolutely need captions, otherwise I lose interest in the movie. Unless of course, the movie is "Wall-E" or something strongly visual. I loved "Sunshine" because of the visuals alone. Amazing. I like a movie that can do visuals and storytelling really really well. Like...

went to a training class called "what about communication?" once or twice I had to sort of chime in that the teacher was being overtly cautious about my hearing impairment. Too much legal red-tape in the workplace, not enough trust :/

one issue at a time...I'm an almost lawyer lol :wave: i.e. don't take actual advice from me...just consider what I'm saying and then go consult a real lawyer and see if they say any different ;)

regarding?

:wave: yeah...these kind of feelings are the kinds where I show her the door. It's not fair to have a partner who doesn't understand how life is like for you...he needs to be supportive. he doesn't get it. If he doesn't try to understand, show him the door.

"chatting" with hearing people online. most of it is texts/video no one speaks. shrug kinda fun.

perhaps a link to a specific room? how about ICanHazChat - Webcam Chat for the Masses? It's not on 24/7 if nobody is in there, but ...all deafers could just keep checking the room to see if anyone's in?

I learned that I need to check all of my cables in my new PC from time to time... Vibration loosened my CPU power to "off" and damaged my OS/hard drive..lucky I have a big flash drive inside that was serving as a cache to the HDD... Re-installing windows 7 on the flash drive and hopefully...

Exactly how I feel with my family. :(

Get tested. It's very... 19th century to feel some shame in having hearing loss. Some degree of hearing loss is present in a vast majority of adults. Just get tested. Hearing Aid in right ear is my better half. Completely deaf in left ear. It's a choice really.
