Looking for a friend! I am Deaf

How about a hearing friend who is gradually becoming deaf?

I was diagnosed with Mastoiditis at the age of 2yr. and have had declining hearing ever since. At a very young age my Audiologist predicted that I would be 100% deaf before my 18 birthday. I am currently 21 and still have most of my hearing. I have had H. A. since the 2nd grade although I despise wearing them.
Over the years I have been able to feel my hearing getting worse and believe it is time to start buckling down to learn ASL. I know a few basic signs and finger spelling but my accuracy and speed in both signing and reading signs are very poor.

My mother used to take ASL classes at our local community college and she would take me to Deaf Community Night which was a dinner with her whole class where verbal communication was not allowed, ASL only. I loved being a part of that group and unfortunately had to stop after a series of unfortunate events where those meetings were terminated. I would love to be able to get involved with the deaf community where I live now but have no clue where to start. Perhaps this site will help me.

I suppose that about covers everything as far as my experience with the deaf community and being HOH myself...if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Let me know if anyone would like to chat sometime! :)
 
Mods: why cant this thread be closed? The op has not been back in years and new random people keep posting in it meeting each other derailing her purpose of the thread imo.
