    I can't take it anymore

    Loss is a state of mind, as a Late Deafened your used to relying on it when it is gone you have to find a way but non-verbal communication is at it's peak with text messaging, picture and video. I used Analog Hearing Aids for all of about 2 weeks and couldn't stand it so I don't wear them people...

    Hearie at Gallaudet?

    The thing about Gallaudet is that you have hearies and deafies coming from all over the country to go to school there. So it is slightly easier to fit in there than trying to say fit in at your local deaf community meetups. In my experience certain interpreters who have put in the time are...

    Deaf Culture Hijacked: The Hearing-Minded Taking Advantage of the Word “Deaf”

    As I am majoring in Anthropology I think people have gotten too wound up. They all have lost their innate curiosity to understand things. Instead of Acting and Reacting to things they don't seek to UNDERSTAND too many people these days see a heavily pierced man and judge them and categorize them...

    Students, Your questions answered here.

    Unlike most Late Deafened Adults I am actually against CI's there is nothing wrong with being Deaf or HOH. Many treat CI's as a simple fix but in reality it is not a cure, however I will say from my studying on the subject that it tends to work better for those who are LD Adults. They know what...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    I am a LD my issues started when I was 20 but some could claim they started sooner than that I have always had issues hearing people some people thought it was selective or focus hearing I could read a book so intensely I couldn't hear anything around me. However when the Vertigo and Tinnitus...

    which do you choose the hearing world or deaf world?

    I am on unstable ground also as a HOH I can understand people as well as a hearing sometimes but other times I am profoundly deaf it fluctuates with the balancing issues. But lately it has become a game of reading lips to supplement my hearing. I started taking ASL when I got the diagnosis I...

    Deafness due to measels, meningits etc and vaccinations

    In fact, Anti-Vaxxer's can actually infect a Vaccinated Kid with a disease which they are suppose to be immune to. I know a kid who got Meningitis from a Anti-Vaxxer's kid even though he was vax'ed for it. He survived though of course now he has learning disabilities. It's a shame he didn't get...
