Do you get the multicoloured subs, a different colour each character on screen, such blue, red, yellow, white & black, in the US?.

We all need a bit of a laugh at times especially now, I found a selected few jokes referring to deafness, these are not aimed at being offensive or ridicule anyone, just hopefully seen here as humour, feel free to add some of your own. Patient – “Doctor I think I’m going deaf.” Doctor...

Hey can I get a Coffee around here!!!, oh wait, I'm English I prefer tea. :D Are you a coffee only girl?.

Welcome to Alldeaf Trevor.

Shortening conversations is bad enough, some channels here I even get out of sequence subs, like the texting is lagging, enough to driving you insane trying to keep up.:D I do occasionally try with my aid in, but with background sound & effects I find it impossible.

Hey CoffeeFanatic, welcome to Alldeaf, cool nick btw.

Hey Heavy, reading your story very similar to the research I did online & with a few deaf friends into the 60's to the 80's, whereby deaf & hoh children were sent to specials school, some called them either, schools for slow learners or backward schools, some kind of reference that these...

Hey Darrr, I've been in the timber trade for 25 years, before that 15 years in construction & have worked with deaf & hard of hearing trades people male & female, quality & speed of work counts far more than disabilities. I've worked with an amputee, a carpenter & he was amazing how he adapted...

Retired timber machinist, 25 years in the timber trade, was made redundant 4 years ago, so now unofficially retired," beats saying, unemployed :giggle: ".

Hey Danielle, welcome to Alldeaf.

Hey Heavy, Hedgehog, wow I've never heard of any of them systems you talk about, I lost most of my hearing 6 years ago & been an aid wearer for 2 years. Can I ask how far back are you guys remembering, is this from the 70's & 80's?. I'm 58 btw, born 1962, didn't lose my hearing till around...

up until 2009 we just had 5 channels "bbc1, bbc2, itv, channel 4 & channel 5" then we went digital which was great, except 99% of us have to buy either new digital tv's or a digital converter box, similar to yours I guess, as it obviously meant Cathode ray tube tv's are now redundant. Now we...

Hey Dave, welcome to Alldeaf :)

Wow your subtitle options are far more variable than us in the UK who view free tv, being retired I can't actually afford to have Sky or any subscription service, but totally agree that some subtitle services aren't very good & here they shorten so much of the real conversation, which pretty...

Thanks Zephren, seems I've missed the heydays of this site, I hope it picks up soon!.

Hiya Caramlmachiato, I used to have the same problem not being able to sleep at night due to tinnitus, I found thinking of nice memories or just thoughts of past times can distract the tinnitus enough to eventually fall asleep in a reasonable time, kind of overriding it with thoughts.

Being retired I watch quite a bit of tv, mostly movies, I'm wondering how many of you using the subtitling option?. When I'm watching shows, I don't bother using my hearing aid, just rely on the subtitling which is permanently on, movies, I have my hearing aid in, but even then I struggle at...

Hiya, I'm Mart & I'm from the UK, I lost my most of my hearing 6 years ago I'm "HOH" I struggled for about 4 years hearing conversations to the stage of friends advising to get a hearing aid, it was upsetting to be told that, but of course they were right, so 2 years ago I finally got a hearing...
