    I am glad you're happy with InnoCaption. That's great. When she said she was going to try both, also great. I like comparisons. And, SURE, I'm positive others could give me their input and I'd welcome it. However, Bex and I have been corresponding privately and building a rapport. So, context...

    Motivating my hearing teenager as a Deaf Mom

    If it were me; I'd level with her in your way. Let her know "hey, I MISS you." I miss being able to hear you and talk to you and know what is happening with you. You are not alone, Neither of us need to feel this way. Let's do this together. Learn at a class in the community together? Surely...

    What dating app do you use?

    Tinder certainly isn't the only option but it is the only one I used back then. Update: We are 4.5 years strong now! :) I stand by my previous post; I'm not sure the platform matters as much as what you put into it. Write in DETAIL. What are you looking for, from what kind of person? Everyone...

    Hi

    There are usually housing programs in a person's area. You could look for them and assist him in the process? I live in Missouri and help people find housing through my job. There is usually a county office for resources for people that are Deaf or Blind. I would start googling and find where...

    A Thread About Absolutely Nothing! Part III

    Does this help break in the leather faster so they don't create as many blisters? That's a cool idea.

    Advice For Helping Deaf Loved One Recover from Injury

    That's a great idea, Barbaro. I hope it helps. In the same vein, what about favorite smells? Olfactory is the most powerful since for memory recall; that could be soothing. Also, how is she doing Notsounique?

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    Is it a simplification? Sure. But not by that much and people thinking about getting one would know that; we're really tearing apart expressions now? You thought the risks were worth it and I'm truly happy there were not many complications for you. That isn't the case for everyone; minimizing...

    I'm picking up on large hearing aid providers who train their employees to lie purposefully to their customers.

    Either way, it's a choice and if a person doesn't want CI's...that's it. They don't need more information, persuasion, or are somehow wrong. Their bodies. That's it. No to an elective surgery, in general. I respect their choice. People getting snarky on here about the minutia are missing the...

    deaf name

    I'm sorry but don't expect an answer on this one. The question itself is kinda rude in my experience; please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I've always been told it is and have never asked for one. Here is a bit of an explanation...

    Advice For Helping Deaf Loved One Recover from Injury

    I'm so sorry to know you are hurting; 6 years of dedication to someone is a long time. Looking at yourself and dedicating the same amount of love to your own happiness is a way forward. You are enough of a person without a relationship. You will be happy again, both by yourself or with someone...

    Advice For Helping Deaf Loved One Recover from Injury

    It sounds like you're doing all you can; you are showing up and showing her love. "talk to her" seems like blanket advise not personalized to her. I've seen a deaf/hearing couple say "I love you" in the dark by pressing the hand sign (which is pretty distinctive) into the others back, shoulder...

    What are you doing right now? Part II

    I'm glad you got to travel for the first time in a while. I did a similar road trip right before everything shut down. It's beautiful. I hope you made it home safely.

    Embarassing lip reading moments!

    I remember being on the school bus and my crush silently saying "alligator food" to a girl on the bus because he knew it looked a LOT like "I love you" when lipreading. She got flustered and I felt the lil green envy monster creeping up; then he explained the joke. ha oh high school bus days

    I've been on here for two years but I see a lot of similar comments to yours. What was the sites dynamics in the past that you miss now? I hope like a lot of things, it all comes back around :)
