is deaf culture a sort of secret club?, do you just hope to meet a deaf person and hope they want to be your friend or is there a meeting place where you go and meet deaf people, how do you find out about the culture itself and what are rules to deaf culture?

It's ok, it's me! I posted a new thread about my results.

i went to my audiologist appointment last week and I redid my hearing test, (back story:I did my research on hearing loss and decibels, so I knew I had at least a mild hearing loss to start with), I saw the results and they WERE actually in the mild hearing loss frequency and some of the higher...

Haha, it's ok, I am still alive!! Good jokes and conspiracies! Thanks for your concern as well!

I will let you know my results afterwards, otherwise it can't be good.

My mind is making up crazy sinarios I guess.

i have a audiology appointment tomorrow and I have a quite a few worst case sinarios in my head including being told that I am going to go deaf, that I am faking it and being taken away to a phychriatic unit, being told it was own doing when I have to have things louder like the TV and being...

It's just when a worker starts being awkward and asks something that you don't expect them to say or something different from what they normally say, going to the bank is usually repetitive and you know what they are going to say from the get go.

my hearing seems to gotten worse again, I have my appointment this coming Wednesday but it is for listening strategies rather than my actual ears since I had been wrongly diagnosed with auditory processing disorder. Do they ask "has your hearing changed in any way since the last appointments?"...

Does anyone else have this happens to you?

i was in the bank withdrawing £2 out of my account when the lady decided to be awkward and ask me if I wanted 2 £1 coins or just 1£2 coin, she didn't know I was hard of hearing because I only just met her, I said "pardon" and she got slightly annoyed and over anuinciated what she said, I didn't...

I am also curious about this, it's a good theory and very interesting to find out whether or not deaf people think in sign or have a inner voice

does anybody talk slower or differently when they are hard of hearing or deaf, I have a slight deaf lisp when I pronounce "th" as a "p" and I say "f" instead of "th" and I got told recently that I talk slow, How about you?

I am not sure if my hearing is still going to worse despite whether I am sick or not, but it is round about the same.
