    OMG!!! Are you attending TLC or the Newton North Deaf program? https://edcollab.org/programs/dhh/ There's also READS, and some other collbratives. If you want to have friends who are like you the best way is to take the plunge and attend Deaf School! I remember how bad it was and I'm almost...

    Does Gallaudet have a pre-medical program?

    hearing aids not accepted in the Deaf community 20 years ago?!?!?

    Yeah but I meant as a hivemind mentality. i know there were SOME people who were anti HA, but overall the HA has been pretty much accepted in the Deaf community. 30-35 years ago I could see that. Maybe even as long as 40 years ago, b/c that was the edge of when HAs were introduced...

    hearing aids not accepted in the Deaf community 20 years ago?!?!?

    Anyone interested in True Crimes?

    I'm very interested in pschatrity yes.... Just saw an episode about Jodi Arais.... man that case was messed up. Most serial killers tend to be convinced that they're "cleaning up society", like they'll kill sex workers. There's also the violent ones like the BTK and the one that just got caught...

    Anyone experienced loneliness and anxiety being hoh or deaf?

    BTW, reading through this. I think that ANYONE who thinks that an oral exclusive approach will magically restore a child to "normal" society NEEDS to read this. I keep thinking about certain people who are still so convinced that the social aspect of being dhh doesn't exist any more......I hope...

    Deaf ministry?

    Please stop it with the fundamentalist and Jehovah's Witnesses ministries trying to recruit Deaf people. I have no beef with ministries specificly for JW and fundies who are already following that belief. Would love to see ministries specificly towards hearing parents of dhh kids to get them...

    how useful are hearing aids?

    Start out with BTEs. They have the most power. Nobody can tell you what hearing aid is best b/c response is so indivdual. Trial a ton of them! See what works best for you
