I'm feeling kind of anxious, nervous but excited for everything thats going to happen this week! I'm excited for the 4th of july, But kind of sad about it because for the past 4 years I've been in the 4th of july parade with the band, handing out fliers and holding our band banner. it's going...

I remember in my sophomore year, in band, my section leader at the time was my enemy. He always acted like he knew everything about the deaf culture. So one time we had our sectional, and we were taking a break. He decided to give me a sign name. He signed Deaf, with a K. because my name is...

I'm a little bit nervous when it comes to swimming with water with my CI's on. I never done it, and i don't think i'm going to risk it. I mean when it comes to swimming i normally pay attention to the people getting in and out of the pool, like when it's time for the life guard's break they...

I understand that you are trying hard to learn ASL and understand our deaf culture. But honestly, If you see this thread titled and underlined "annoying ignorant hearing people stories" then maybe you shouldn't come in here and be all mad about it. This thread is mainly for deaf people venting...

They probably do, I think if its under warranty the insurance will pay for it. I'm not really sure, my mom and my dad knows how all this money stuff works than i do :hmm:

yep, the microphone filters. looks something like this:

i use that a lot... :giggle: If i don't understand something, i'll be like: "what, oh sorry, it must be because i'm deaf"--something like that :P

hahaha oh boy! :giggle:

I heard that peanut butter helps get bubblegum out of hair instead of cutting it out.

Why are they so expensive? it doesn't make sense to me sometimes. I can understand batteries being expensive and battery case for the CI, but for just one pack of CI filters? dang.

That's what i've been thinking about! My mom told me that when i was a little girl, i would play "haircut" with my sister and i used real scissors to cut my and her hair. Boy was it bad! I had boy's hair! it was extremely short!! :aw:

Honestly i have no clue, I would have had this pain a long time ago, even before i started band. And I started having this pain since my sophomore year when i first started playing hard music in my section of the band which is being a marimba player. I haven't worn my brace very much or icing my...

the cause for my deafness was AIED (autoimmune inner ear disease) I got that when i was about 3 years old. I don't remember much from it. But I researched it, and my AIED would let me hear fine one day then the next day it would be all out of place. Plus my balance is really bad. I can't even...

My pit tech told me countless of times before to use my wrist and use less arm. I have a tendency to not pay attention to what technique i'm using and i would accidentally use more arm than wrist. I've been trying to lay off of the fast-food stuff, in band we were lectured that we need to drink...

I got the nadia about 2 years ago, i only worn the aid for a few months before my right ear became useless. It was pretty powerful, i even had to adjust myself from hearing through the aid. It was really different compared to the ones i had before. I had the small aid, and it was powerful but i...

no not really, Its summer and the only thing i'm a little worried about is keeping myself cool from the weather. I've always put my hair up in a ponytail or a messy bun.

:rofl: noo thank you!

So, i've been having a hard time trying to decide if i should cut my hair a little bit shorter or grow it longer. I thought since it's summer, i should cut it a little bit above my shoulders. The hairstyle i have right now is a selena gomez bob-haircut. it looks something like this: But my...

My dad ordered me 2 N5 mic filters, they were 34 dollars each.. :shock: he also bought a carrying case too because the one i have; the clip doesn't work very well. and we also bought some dry-moister cup thing for the carrying case. So it was a total of a 102 dollars. I will be getting it...

no.. i haven't seen my doctor since my physical for band. which was like the beginning of last summer.
