Recently, I was in a meeting discussing with a very rude lady in how being deaf effects my daily life. Many comments were made that just ticked me off but being polite I just smiled and carried on. However, I did have to say something after this comment was made... 'so you have hearing aids...

fairly new, not at the moment, I used to practice as a nurse however, I'm now a student :)

Hi, I'm deaf and from the UK. My BSL is terrible but i do know the basics. My signing use to be better when i was younger but I had to learn to communicate orally anyway welcome :)

Hi, i wear two hearing aids, I'm profoundly deaf in my left ear and severely deaf in my right !

Hi, I'm 19 and from the uk also! you should seen an audiologist as it could be an other problem other than a hearing loss such as a build up of wax! Of course you may have a slight loss and if you leave it you can really do some damage to your ears, I know from experience !:)

Hi all, I wondering if anyone else has tried a CROS hearing aid and what is your opinion on it?. I was fitted with one about a year ago. I guess its the closest thing I can get to having hearing in my bad ear !:laugh2:

i get the 'how can you drive if your deaf' comment all the time . Last time i checked i still have eyes !:laugh2:

yip, i know that feeling :laugh2:

cant hear them ;)

my family own a farm so I cant avoid, just drive at 5 mph and i'll be fine :laugh2:

Tell me about it, where i live there's alot of country roads so its terrifying to drive !

same here, I'm not to far from Glasgow!, its the ice that is the problem here :(

are you down in England? , yeah, we had a few snow days, usually just turns to slush !:bowlol:

Through-out the years I've got really stupid comments about being deaf. Luckily I have a sense of humor and laugh them off, other times it just pisses me off. My favorite comment of all time is 'you don't look deaf', well I didn't realise there is a dress code XD Does anyone else get these...

thank you :)
