Speaking of dogs, have you ever considered spaying yours so whatever passing dog doesn't knock her up again?

With the pronunciation of sounds you struggle with, I would suggest making a habit of practicing the sounds every day. That will help you remember what you were taught to do and it will help with muscle memory of where your tongue needs to be, mouth shape, and even how much air to put out. You...

Reading what she said, to paraphrase, "Through the support of Verizon, I've been given the freedom to truly shine." You could say to her, "Without the support of my family, I've not been given the freedom to truly shine." You're right, she's being very hypocritical and it sounds like she's...

VA Bowbender, have you sat her down and talked about how she's not respecting you at all by acting the way she does? Talk to her about how difficult it is being deaf and how you feel left out and isolated when you're in groups, and tell her how it makes you feel when she yells for you and feels...

Or, however unlikely, he had hypothermia.

The popup had a close button at the top right corner.

Fracking does increase the number of earthquakes as well.

I was classified as profoundly HoH from childhood, had 10 years of speech therapy, and mostly it's due to luck. I lipread better than average too. I can't remember the last time I heard voices.

I can't hear myself speak and I do speak clearly unless I'm tired. I can tell the difference when my speech is clear and when it's not, but that's due to many years of speech therapy. It's work to talk clearly, a lot of brain work and it falters when I'm tired or sick. I sometimes wish I...

There's actually little evidence that it was North Korea. The malware used (I think that's what they said) was itself hacked and the instructions for its use were available to anyone. Anyone could have used IP spoofing to have their IP show up as a North Korean one. There was one more reason...

Because you're talking to a hearing operator at the other end, just talk like you normally would. Any time my operators could not understand the person I've called or has called me, they simply ask them to repeat themselves. I don't have to intervene to make sure the operator can understand...

My take on it is that CIs are not a cure. They are another type of hearing aid and they don't automatically turn you into a hearing person. They also turn off, just like hearing aids. Some people are able to hear well enough to function as a hearing person and they also choose that identity...

Take a look at Northern Illinois University. It's not a school for the deaf but it has really fantastic services, including entire dorms set up just for the deaf. They have international students who come simply because of the accommodations. They have a a college of theatre and dance within...

The funny thing is the guy didn't even get the law right. One of the things he missed is that it needs to be at least 25 dollars for him to attempt to do what he did, among other issues. The guy was just a major douchebag on a power trip.

I wonder how many of the buildings with outer doors on an upper level are in areas that get a lot of snowfall, or has in the past. Many older homes and buildings were built with doors like that so people could get out of their homes when there was 10 feet of snow outside.

You know, all this "it only takes communication to prevent a divorce from happening" bullshit reminded me of something. When I got married (only knowing my spouse for 9 months prior to marrying, with him being stationed overseas without me for three of those months) we decided on how to handle...

What about looking up local deaf organizations and asking them for any leads?

Not necessarily. I'm deaf and I talk. I'm late deafened (lost the bulk of my hearing as a teenager) and I have really excellent misleading speech. People assume I can hear. I can't remember the last time I heard something. Also, napy, every single question you have should be directed to...

Totally physically impossible with the way our eyes are set in our heads. I find that I notice microexpressions very easily. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microexpression

I've never been able to get any insurance to cover my hearing aids. I'd be thrilled to have any hearing aids that helped even if I had to wait years to get more appropriate ones. You may just have to suck it up for the time period or pay out of pocket. When they give you a refusal try to appeal...
