@Lhigson3 Hang in there! Do you have somebody around to support you? Where do you reside? How old is your daughter? Who is her father? You can look into different devices, that might help you. Like flashing alarms for sounds and so on. Elaborate more, so we can give you more possible solutions...

@Maggiesmom is it possible to get a CI instead of BAHA? I didn't try BAHA, so I don't know. But CI does a lot, I have only one, it does help me when I need it. Sometimes I'm tired of noise, then I just take it off and use signs for further communications. My children are hearing, but they are...

@Calvin thank you for sharing your experience! What is your current position at UPS? Did you reach the point, where you start to like your job for decent salary and perks?

It depends. Also depends on your attitude too. If you are confident, people treat you a lot differently. If you are confident - they are not sorry for you being deaf :) I usually disclose my deafness immediately, and offer them other methods for communications. For example speech recognizing...

Awww she is so cute! She will be alright! I see that she is wearing CI? Then she is not at silence at all.

Cool! So interesting! UPD: Oh, I see so many wonderful opportunities there. If I were alone, I would definitely try this opportunity to live and work in different places.

I'm somehow sure that USPS is not that bad. Why? Because I did run my own business, which required a lot of bulk shipment overseas. I used to visit USPS every week, sometimes twice a week. Often in different locations and cities. The most surprising, that people work there for years, and don't...

So sorry to hear, that you didn't get hired. Job hunt is definitely a difficult and stressful process. I've had a lot of rejections too, but that is "normal" process, as there is a competition. Somebody gets hired, and somebody not. It is up to employer to decide who is the best fit. Before I...

I see, interesting. What is their common salary per hour? Benefits?

Rest in peace, Bottesini... So sad to learn, that somebody who was helping me here, has passed away. :(

Welcome! I'm afraid you will learn ASL here, instead of BSL :)

I kept asking all of them too. That is the first thing I do. I didn't like Udemy though(not so responsive on captions requests, and using a lot of auto-captions). Lynda.com is a nice source, also it is free if your local library partners with Lynda. My favorites - Coursera, Udacity, and...

I doubt that someone will hire a temporary worker, especially out of state. But you need to try. "Lady Luck favors the one who tries". UPS, FedEx, Post Office are not easy place to get. They offer some benefits, so the hiring process might be as long as 3.5+ months. At my last job search, it...

My answer was to this post I don't think people normally can trust to someone immediately, no matter date site, meetup, classmate, or anyone else. I and my husband were using snail mail back more than a decade ago, to communicate. Because we lived too far away from each other. We dated for 2...

Bummer! I thought it was clean, turquoise, and warm.

It depends on the course, check demo videos and descriptions on particular course.

Also, could you mention what exactly you want to learn? There are also Cybrary, Codeschool, Codeacademy, FrontEndMasters, Khan Academy, Udemy and many many many others. Not all courses captioned. But all of them are working on it.

Very educational! :popcorn:

Coursera, Udacity

Fuck, I'm rereading my posts, and can see tons of mistakes.
