Hey all, I didn't grow up deaf, so I'm still getting used to Deaf culture. I have a question for all of you who did. I have a friend who is Deaf,( went to residential school since age 5, lived in the dorms, doesn't speak). So anyway, i was a little taken aback today when she asked if she...

i like the size of the playbook better than the iPad

i can read french, speak french, but i can no longer understand spoken french. However, i am late deaf and grew up immersion french. *EQL*

Deafdyke - it depends on each student. Some dhh kids stay until 21 to improve their math and english if they are not great in those skills. Some graduate at 17 like the 'typical' kids. Ryancher - I recommend FM. I have Naida V UP myself with ML10i and a Smartlink+. It works quite well. Someone...

if i remember correctly, the JR isnt actually any different than the regular, it just comes with the smaller earhook as standard. Physically it is the same aid though. *EQL*

where do you go to school? many areas have laws that the school has to accommodate you... maybe they will pay to fix it or get you a new one??? don't sacrifice your education for $$.. if the newer one works better, use it.. don't just use an older, crummier one. *EQL*

dr phil, just curious, did you have 0 hearing when you went 'deaf'? in both ears? *EQL*

i would assume is has something to do with brain plasticity. The brain adapts and rewires itself, especially fast in young children. I guess it would have to be a very specific type of loss, where the hair cells themselves are fine but somewhere the neuron connections are not great until they...

try watching the news muted. They usually focus on the speakers face, there are often pictures to help hint at the topic, and they switch topics often enough that if you get lost, it's only a minute or two before you can try again :D *EQL*

i think i just told my sign teacher that i am yet-deaf instead of late-deaf. He figured it out when he asked me if i grew up hearing or HOH though (i hope anyway!) Woops!! *EQL*

ive been using the Rogers IPRelay since the day it came out. Works well WHEN there is someone available on the other end. Often I request a call and don't hear anything back for hours, by which point its too late. Can't get rid of my voice plan and portable TTY just yet i guess. Hopefully it...

*sigh* phone plans are sooo much cheaper in the states compared to Canada :( *EQL*

i assume you dont microwave your hearing aids, just the beads, right? if you have corrosion, then it sounds like maybe a moisture problem corroded them, which would cause some poor connectivity between the HA and any battery. You'd have to send them back to get that fixed. Happened to me once...
