I just started Deaf Again for my ASL class, and I've also been told that Deaf in America is a good book, but I think it is more of information than a story.

I thought so too...though when I was younger I had a guy with dark hair (I actually think he was part of a Wedding set or something). I thought they were supposed to be like 16 or something? Kinda young to marry :giggle:

I know a lot of people who have more medical problems than you. And also, what does the sickness have to do with the rest of the convo? It seems as if it was brought up out of nowhere?

Just keeps getting weirder and weirder...

I was expecting that, after all, what is the point in choosing what you believe in if you don't bother to hear the other point of view? Actually, I'm hoping they chime in, as I'd like to hear it directly from them.

I believe, at this point (which could always change!) that CI's are okay for Deaf children, as long as it is a tool to help - like Hearing Aids - rather than a way to "fix" the child and make him hearing. So in other words - yes, I believe that CIs in children combined with ASL, Deaf schools...

That is what I want! I haven't proof-read it at all yet, just finished writing it and I'll do the proof-read tomorrow or later tonight. So focus more on content than mistakes, but you can correct those too if you want. I'm very good at run-on sentences, especially when passionate about something!

Also, I am writing this which I think the rest of my class will see. Several members of my class made comments while we were watching the movie about how Heather's parents had "brain-washed" her into their lie that the Deaf world had nothing wrong. I may also post it on FB for all to see in an...

I have read and discovered how things turned out for the families in the movie - how Peter did well and eventually Heather did get the cochlear followed by several other family members. I more wanted feedback on my ideas about hearies attempting to change the Deaf to fit their idea of "ideal,"...

This is long, so if you don't feel like reading, you can comment summary section below. Summary: I have to write a paper on my view of the cochlear implant after watching Sound and Fury in my ASL class. My view is that cochlear implants forced on deaf children of hearing parents is wrong...

I am in Ohio and I tried that search, but there is no one within an hour of college... This web site - American Ear Hearing Aid Zanesville Ohio - lists an office near me, and they seem to have a somewhat thorough process that you go through anyway. I found them through insurance, so they are...

So, I haven't been to an audiologist since I was little and got my original diagnosis (Auditory Processing Disorder) which was around 15 years ago. I decided that it might be good to see an audiologist and get things rechecked since I'm now old enough to know a little more about what the test...

Aww! Thanks for sharing!

I am learning sign, but want to immerse myself in the Deaf culture, which is limited where I am (rural Ohio). I found out about the Silent Weekend that is held in October in Hocking Hills. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it would be okay/I would be welcome with limited signing...

Hello and welcome! I'm new here myself and am hearing, but I also "hear gibberish" (APD).

Oh, wow :eek3: That just made me laugh. :laugh2:

Okay...don't laugh... I bought Myst. Yeah, the one that came out in the 90's. I had a copy when I was younger but didn't get the whole idea of the game (since there really isn't much direction at all) and mostly just wandered around Myst. I don't think I ever even got to any other...

I also was wondering how things went today...

White Cats, Eye Colours and Deafness From the same site - 60-80% of white cats with one or two blue eyes

I have to agree, but I don't think that would have worked on me, I LIKE writing research papers waaaaay too much! I'd own a zoo if I could as a kid :lol:
