    Do we have a challenge ahead of us to avoid becoming Hearing?

    I think sometime those with a little better hearing, those with a severe loss sometime take it for granted that it was a little easier for them to develop good speech.

    Do we have a challenge ahead of us to avoid becoming Hearing?

    I think sometime it's also a question of severe hearing loss vs profound's. It does and can make a difference at times. There were times I could see the difference between those having just a severe loss as opposed to those having a profound's.

    Deaf Singer wants to improve voice

    That although I don't think I tried this method, putting the wine cork between the teeth, I think it may have something to do with trying to make the voice come out of the throat more.

    The new deaf generation....speaking and listening

    FYI, they also used that "covering their mouths" method in AVT with adults as well. I've had the therapist try that with me. I don't mind cause I do want to try to improve my listening skills.

    A lengthy introduction...

    Rampratt, In the future, you may want to break down posts like the above into several paragraphs to make it more readable to others. A new paragraph enables the reader to pause before moving on to the next. Just some constructive advice. That's all.

    Hi folks, long time no see.

    It's also a question of that you may want the upgrade for other reasons anyway. For one, it's smaller. And it also has a remote. Just to mention a couple.
