Wa-wa-wait! I'm at the moderate to severe range so i still hear with my hearing aids and speak. Was never exposed to any ASL because my mum found out she had hearing loss only when she had me at the late age of 38. I wanted to learn ASL but my mum had this stupid conception that if you use ASL...

These won't apply to me though.. I have no knowledge in ASL at all. :(

Welcome! You are inspiring!

Welcome!

But hey now, nobody expects themselves to separate from their partner in all honest truth. Being dependent isn't totally a bad thing because partners rely on one another. If they separate, thats it, move on and find solutions. 7 years isn't a short amount of time and shes learning how to be...

You might, you might not! You might be less reliant on those skills but it won't be totally useless!

Wow those exists?! I never knew!!! I wonder how accurate they are though?

Sounds fun! I really love my friends too! They're really understanding and helped me out. I kinda kept mum and didn't tell anyone for 3 years and only told most of them after my school officially ended. Even without telling them my problems, they still helped and we helped one another and cared...

Thats a great start! What are you planning to take up?

Hello! Thank you for your response! How about phone calls? How do you handle that considering a lot of phone calls with clients is required?

Good luck!! You can do it!!!!

I wonder if anyone here have social work experience and if you did, how did you cope and what are the difficulties you face? I'd be grateful for your input!

I get that a lot. I don't hear people calling me when I should be and they get all fed up!! "i called you so many times and there was no response". I'd just go "oops, sorry, was too engrossed or spacing out''. It's more frustrating with my mum because she's also hard of hearing and hers is...

Did you explain to your friends about what happened and the problems you face?

Yes it could be the eyeglassses as well... I had to use the laptop everyday and was straining my eyes to the point of no return. I do lip read because it helps to be more accurate in understanding. No i do not use notetakers. Thank you for the knowledge and luck! I hope college will be easier...

I'm currently taking a break before i enter college next year.. I'm not comfortable with an interpreter!

I might sound noob, but what is CART and TERPS? Sorry for asking.. and in my case my friends were really supportive so I got a lot of help from them! I'm blessed to have really understanding friends. I have never used an FM system but I recently managed to secure 1 after graduating from high...
