There were times that I did visit a family with some deaf members and even I could tell that they were kind of "loud" at times. Some time some of the deaf people may not be aware of the noise they're making. There were times that even I wondered "can my next door neighbor hear that?". How old...

One reason why I thought of the above is cause I do know of another profoundly deaf child that was just "mouthing the words", that is saying some of those similar words without using the voice. That's when the child's mother realized that she had better have her child's hearing checked. And if...

No sweat, I already commented out that post. I simply misunderstood the title of the thread. Sorry.

FYI, I already conceded saying "Alright, you have a point" to the two of the replies to that post.

Alright, let's roll up our sleeves and get a little constructive here. Now here is a perfect example that shows that a little sensitivity could work both ways. Now, are you saying that how the deaf "coped with their deafness" should be less diminished than how the Deaf coped with theirs? As a...

Sorry but that's not the case. A deaf person has such as much right to be proud of "the way they coped with their deafness". For instance, my family, my mother and I worked hard to ensure I get a good mainstreaming education. Should that be diminished any less cause it happens to be the deaf...

Is she using her voice when she says mama, daddy or few other words? If she is, then it could be an indication that she is indeed hearing a little speech. One way or another, she should probably get some hearing devices. And that at 19 months, the sooner, the better. And if you're feeling...

Part of the point is that my family were naturally expressive, made eye contact and were visually oriented as opposed to using signs. Which to tell you the truth, I'm trying to cut down on this kind of talk. Cause as you see from some of the earlier posts in this thread, I was accused of trying...

Alright, you have a point there.

Jules, did you use to have better hearing when you were younger?

Let me put it this way, that whatever method my family used worked. Maybe to some extent, it's also a question of that some people or family are more naturally expressive or visually oriented than others. For instance, there is this old video somewhere. I don't have it but my cousin does...

The HLAA is another option. You can check to see if there's one near you in your state.

Alright, you have a point.

Sorry to hear about it PFH. You're entitled to live the way you want to.

Of course not, as to that I've also always been close to my hearing family members, relatives and all that. But it does seem a little bit of a double standard that if some of them are supposedly so proud of their Deaf identity, then shouldn't they be secured enough to also marry one? Some...

I noticed that some that are being kind of loud on that it's so good to be Deaf and all that are actually married to their hearing husbands. Just saying. Sure, they're entitled to be married to whomever they wish, of course. But it's like "they want to have their cake and eat it too".

That although "whether or not I had been implanted as a little child" hasn't really crossed my mind. However, there were times I did wonder "what if I had gone straight from the body aids to having a CI in at least one ear" when I was a teenager. Cause the BTE's weren't as good back then as they...

Moderation probably would have been the key there. Meeting other oral / mainstreamed children like yourself could have also helped.

I use the Duracell Activair Battery Tester. You could probably get it from one of the websites that sell hearing loss related products. I rather be safe than sorry to ensure that the battery does indeed need to be replaced. Cause there were times that it wasn't the battery but rather that the...

Some questions are, what kind of doctor did you see? Was it just your regular or family's doctor in the neighborhood or something? If that's the case then you'd be better off to take him to an hearing specialist or to a local speech & hearing center for a 2nd opinion. Secondly, if he does...
