I'm HOH with a good aid & have no real problems communicating with people, but I do get pissed off with some people who don't understand aid wearers sometimes treating us like we're dumb, I've been spoken to very slowly the person thinking I'm like dumb, till I tell them, "I'm deaf, not dumb you...

Can I ask how old he is & if he's learnt any signing yet?. I do not use sign language, I don't think it is an issue, he could even learn right-handed. I am left-handed btw & like most have learnt to do many things right-handed in a predominantly right-handed world.

Welcome to Alldeaf, Emma!.:welcome:

Can all deaf people read & write!, bit of an odd question & almost insulting to some as basic education or the lack of it, has no connection to deafness in my opinion. However in saying that, I never learnt to read & write till I was in my early 20's, I never actually went to school & had very...

Your stories are always interesting & worth a read, keep em coming my friend!.:cheers:

Due to the Covid lockdowns & getting bored out of my head, although not on mobile, I dug out my old PS2 a while back, I'm replaying "Resident Evil 4", pretty good game also a few Need for Speed games, haven't played these for nearly 10 years. I used to be quite an avid gamer, especially with...

Did you hear about the deaf man who got a ticket? It’s ok he didn’t either!. Two years ago, my doctor told me I was going deaf, I haven’t heard from him since. I wrote a terrible joke about deaf people, I’m just glad they’ll never hear it. Angus is a bit short of money so he rings his friend...

Ladies & Gentlemen!, we are not alone!. Famous deaf & hoh people Ludwig Van Beethoven, arguably the most famous he was a German pianist born in 1770, and is regarded as the Greatest Classical Composer ever...

Hiya Malus, I'm not too sure, I've only been hoh for around 2 years & have an excellent hearing aid, so I haven't learnt any BSL or ASL, so have little knowledge of what's out there for musical signage, but I'm sure there must be, just a case of Googling, it would be nice if there is.

Welcome to Alldeaf, Shayde!.

Looking out the window into my garden, wondering if this rain will ever stop, I love the rain, just watching it run down the window pane is actually nice & kinda soothing, yeah weird thing to say, maybe I'm just a weird person.:D

Hey Malus, that's awesome, that's the best music related humour I've heard in a long while.:rofl: You do need to understand the music scales & notations to get that humour ( I used play the piano many years back ):wiggle:

Hey Coffee!, haven't I seen you before!, oh yes right here!.:h5:

Hey Candybrowneyes, welcome back to Alldeaf. :h5:

Omg that's bad, well it's their loss by rejecting a potentially good confident worker. The key here is try not to make your hoh an issue for them, state it only if asked but point out it's not going to be a problem providing you're given a chance, be confident & assertive.

Better late than never. :mrgreen: If a Deaf child swears does his mother wash his hands with soap and water? Deafness is becoming quite a problem for me. I never thought I would hear myself say that. Question: How do you stop Deaf people arguing...

What am I doing right now!, I'm typing this!!:type: & waiting for the rain to stop, so I can carry mowing the lawn & the neighbours might even get their footballs back.:laugh2:

That sounds like the old system we had in the UK, I think somewhere from the 90's, but that is actually still used here on some channels, because different channels use different subs providers, but coloured makes conversations a whole lot easier to follow.
