I have two kids who are still pretty young. I couldn't imagine taking one and just leaving it under some rocks in a ditch. They didn't just want to get rid of that baby they wanted that baby dead. I pray they're caught.

Not really. I wouldn't be much help. Sorry.

Thank you so much. The last years have been solely devoted to my kids which is why I haven't made it a priority to start tackling the hearing issues. Soon . I will look into vocational rehab, i didn't know about it. What is causing your hearing troubles?

EXACTLY! I'm not being rude i just didn't hear you. I think it is time for me to get a ha but there are so many other priorities it's hard to say "im going to do something for me now" ya know? I'm glad your immediate family has learned to sign sounds like good people. Hopefully your mom and...

I don't either. I don't want to act like i have it so badly, but when i can't have a regular conversation people start to notice. If i tell them about my hearing they act like it's this big thing then i have to explain and they look me like why did i even bring it up. I feel like I should just...

Do you ever feel stuck in the middle? I'm losing my hearing, I'm verbal since i was born hearing, but now it's getting worse and worse. I feel like i don't belong anywhere, not in the hearing world but not in the Deaf community either. Sucks.

I'm not deaf, I am losing my hearing. I hear that from people "i wish i had a deaf friend" type stuff. I think that's so strange, like they focus on the fact that someone is deaf an think it's cool, like all deaf people are the same or something. I just learned that some people who are deaf...

I live in California. There are almost always fires burning somewhere. The big one up north right now is in a valley, very hard to get fire equipment up there so it just burns and burns

I never used to understand why parents wouldn't get babies/kids a CI if it was an option. I used to judge deaf parents who wouldn't "help" their children by getting them one. Now that i have kids and now that understand about the Deaf community it makes angry thinking CI's being pushed and...

Isn't it sad these children are viewed as something people own?!

Thank you! I'm learning more and more about . I always thought it was directly related to English, now i see it is its own and I'm a intimidated but I'm determined to learn it. My husband brought up hearing aids last night. I think he was half kidding but i actually got excited!

I just meant i can't read people are saying. It would be cool to have like shirts with CC scrolling across them haha...

I meant people don't come with CC so i can't read what they are saying so i miss out on a lot... so what is AOL :curious:

My name is Krista. I'm a SAHM, i have 2 kids. I'm interested in learning about deaf culture and the hard of hearing crowd. I feel like my ears are turning on me. Most of my day is spent asking people to repeat themselves, constantly asking "what?"..."huh?". I've recently started using the CC so...
