I HAVE and honestly I tell everyone that piece of advice so thank you!!! It makes things sooooooo much smoother!

The sign for Year? I was trying to do it, as I read hahaha. Kind of seems like the sign for one year or Year. I will wait till some others answer.

BAHAHAHAHA @tristinetran I am navigating my way through! I am glad I can get us some answers at least! The struggle is real!

Hi @tristinetran Welcome! I am pretty good at signing, but am learning myself, as I have only been deaf since March. I know there are some Zoom groups that have been started for Sign as well. And I am not sure what city you are in, but most have ASL sign clubs that meet at local bookstores and...

I bet you do get it! It is hard fitting in to both the deaf and hearing communities! Thank you for your kind words :)

I recently went to a cooking class, and as long as I was in direct sight of the Chef to lip read, I didn't miss much. I also brought my flash timer with me. It is like a little cooking timer with a flash that goes off, very handy. Videos could just add captions and you can pause like any...

Hello All! I wanted to get some insight into resources for the Deaf in regard to establishing something in the workplace. I am in the works of starting something within my own workplace, as they do not have many resources for the Deaf, besides Live transcriptions. I speak from a Late Deafened...

Thanks @Korey Geer I appreciate the contact. I will add you to my contact list, maybe we can all set up a zoom in the near future!

That poem hit me in the feels. Wow! How relatable is this post! Honestly coming from a Late deafened perspective, I never realized just how absent-minded, and even a little privileged the hearing can be at times. Honestly I can see it from both sides. My social interaction has declined within...

Hi I am recently deaf since March 2022- I am learning ASL and would love to practice as well and am also in Central time zone :) Novellabex@gmail.com or n.bexphotography on IG. Hope you have found some great friends to practice with :) -Bex

Yes, a couple people have mentioned this to me, so I will try it out. That and someone mentioned there is a screen at the bottom in most places. I haven't seen this, but then again I wasn't actively looking for it lol. Thanks @EllietheEncourager !

Oh nice! thanks @EllietheEncourager I will def check out that page. She doesn't have social media ( i forbid it for my teen hahaha) but I will get on mine and check it out. And seek out some support groups together!

oh not at all, I didn't take it as snarky! I appreciate the feedback and will def compare the two :)

Hey All, was wondering if anyone had any advise on motivating my teenager to learn ASL. I am recently deaf since March and although I read lips, I find at the end of a long day reading lips, that I am mentally tired and signing would be so much easier in the home life. My daughter is a great...

Hi @Victoria Jarvis - I won't lie to you and say it will be easy, but I will say it does get better. I recently had total hearing loss this past march and it was life-changing for me. I had been deaf in one ear first for almost a decade before total loss, but It has definitely been an eye...

Yes I did see your suggestion to someone about Innocaptions. I am currently using Captionmate and have my number linked for call forwarding. So far my experience with it has been a positive one, but will definitely check out Innocaptions as well and compate the two! Thanks for the suggestion!

@Catastrophic I love your feedback! thank you so much for responding :). I do not think it is corny at all! My first bout with ASL when I was hearing was because I wanted to talk to a boy that had these super cool drawings. I remember the first thing I said to him was " I like your library" he...

Hi @Jane B. - Yes, Nashville, TN, apologies. And Yes I did report on another thread with difficulties I found at drive thrus. I will have to look for this screen you speak of. Thanks so much!

Hi there, I am Late Deafened, so my answers may differ from someone who may have been born deaf. 1- What are things others do that are considered inappropriate, annoying, or rude within the Deaf community? I think probably some of the rudest things i have encountered are these for me: 1...

Both books called : Life after Deaf by Noel Holsten and Life after Deaf by Monique Williamson
