You're welcome, amylynne :) I'm glad that it helps.

Sign Language for Auto Shop Here is a link to some signs for auto mechanics. Not sure how many you'll be able to use since cars are so different from bikes, but I hope there are at least a couple.

31, Ohio and no special accomadations were made for me. Not even front row seating in school. I was led to believe that I was just slightly hard of hearing my whole life until recently when I became active in the Deaf community and began to learn sign and realized that a profound/severe loss is...

Aww... I think that's just the sweetest damn thing I've ever read. Then again I guess it would only be fair if I let everyone know that I'm the wife you're referring to :D My husband joined this forum after I told him how much reading here has helped me to feel less inferior as an individual...

I think you're mistaking people being genuinely happy with themselves and who they are with something else. You seem to think there is something wrong with being proud of being D/deaf, I'm curious why that is? Secondly, deaf people can audists too. It's an attitude and a train of opinions...

I know which website it is from, I read it all the time. It's Ree Drummond's site: The Pioneer Woman | Ree Drummond She can be funny, and has some great recipes and photography tips.

:laugh2: I am soooo stealing this.

I am from Ohio, outside of the Cincinnati area. It's actually quicker for me to get to Kentucky than it is for me to drive to Cincy.

Interesting, higher frequencies are what the general population usually have trouble hearing even if they don't have any loss of hearing. My un-professional assessment is that you're just weird :giggle: does that make you feel any better? Actually it does sound like what Bottesini said...

I'm confused, it was in a soundproof box with headphones and a clicker or it wasn't and you expected it to be? Our family doctor will do a preliminary test using just headphones and a sound machine, but we have to go to an audiologist for a more conclusive test. Did you get an audiogram?
