Yes, thinking about helping others does stop the pity party for myself. I don't exercise regularly at the moment. Since I've had meningitis I have very poor balance and get dizzy. Even getting up from a chair to quickly put my head into a spin. My brother goes to the gym regularly and he has...

I was asking Beowulf if he asked about all those people knowing sign. If he ever asked them how knew sign language? It's odd to meet so many people that sign.

I lost my hearing about two years ago and I do feel lonely and isolated. It is hard to accept and adjust.

Wondering if I should buy the new iPhone that will come out soon.

Yes, they are awful. Just started therapy and hopeful will adjust my attitude and become more positive.

Thanks. Will do.

Thanks.

You are deaf blind? I started therapy. I just went to one session so far. Yes, I'm also learning some sign language. It is going slow but I am realizing that it is going to be easier to communicate if I know it. I am not a good a lipreader. I see a lot of people here say that they can lipread. I...

Hi Janie, I lost my hearing from meningitis when I was 18. I'm now 20. I don't sign or read lips. I've never worn a hearing aid. The audiologist said that they are not strong enough and my word recognition scores were super low. I tried for CI and didn't qualify. The meningitis did a real number...

I had meningitis when I was 18 and lost my hearing. I'm now 20.

I will look into Vitamin D. Yeah, I'm using the word dumb as stupid not as mute. But now I don't want to use my voice with people I don't know as I might sound different. I can't help it but I don't want to give people something to judge me on. Is that stupid? I do worry a lot about what they...

How do people react to your accents that don't know you? Do you use your voice all the time? I'm not sure I want to use my voice around strangers now. I don't want them to judge me.

What does a speech coach actually do?

How long does it take to develop a deaf accent? What kind of work do you do? I am young (20) and worried that I'll never get a job because I can't hear. I wish hearing aids would work for me. I don't go out because I'm not sure how to communicate any more with people. I'm trying to learn sign...

Is that true that post lingual deaf have deaf accents? That means someone that lost hearing later in life? I am 20 now and lost my hearing at 18 due to sickness. How do you get this accent? I've talked my whole life.

You said you wouldn't wear your hearing aids if it was up to you. Who is making you wear them? Are you an adult? Is it your parents? Why not just stop wearing them. Do they help you at all?

Who told you that you would forget how to pronounce words? An audiologist?

I am not hearing anything. I don't have hearing aids. The audiologist said that they aren't really strong enough and I don't qualify for cochlear implants. What does a deaf accent sound like? How will I know if I have a deaf accent? Does your brain forget how to speak?

I am new to having a hearing loss. I lost my hearing after being sick a few year ago. I haven't found a comfortable way to communicate yet. I was in a chat room last week and the topic of talking for yourself came up. I've always thought I'd just talk for myself. But someone told me that I might...

I am starting to learn to sign. It isn't easy for me. I had meningitis and now my thinking process is much slower. It is hard for me to focus and remember as well. It is very frustrating.
