Yep, in :) I just tried doing out and it's weird!

Just my $.02. I'm just like the hard of hearing girl in class who wears aids and doesn't have a terp. I wouldn't, personally, be offended at all if I happened to look over at the terp and saw them pointing me out to his client. Why? 1. Being HoH isn't bad. It's not like the terp said 'what...

I think you do the package for sake of good business :)

A lot of instructors will base the class around the students so I'm sure they just want to know your background so you can learn everything you need to know :) Have fun in class.

Thanks Nitro. I got a response that 'there is not going to be an interpreter available unless the band is bringing one and hasn't informed us' ARGH. I'm going to need your info, so thanks! You would think Mohegan Sun would have a darn terp, as big as they are.

Most years I just deal with it because hey, I live in Mass and it gets cold. I wear layers and fingerless gloves (and thats inside haha). Tomorrow though I'm going to Florida so I get to be warm for a week! Super excited.

Thanks LoveBlue. That was my thought too, so I emailed the company in charge of the concert but haven't heard back yet. Trying to get it sorted before I get tickets -- wasn't sure which section to buy or if it would matter.

So glad you got someone to work with. Learning in person is so much better, I think. Always easier for me to remember if I see it in person and good to have the feedback. Have fun!

Ok guys, help me out, please!? I don't want to step on toes, and have NO idea how to go about all this. My hearing is bad enough and my signing good enough that I could benefit from an interpreter for certain things. How the heck do I get one? I want to go to a concert (band, large...

My $.02 :) I am learning ASL though I'm far from fluent. I think the biggest obstacle is not me wanting to hear, but more that all my family and acquaintances still see me as hearing. In their minds, I can talk so I'm hearing. My husband is trying to learn some asl along with me and I'm...

Oh, also, your cell phone may have a t-coil switch or setting. I would look for one and see if that helps. You can always turn it off if it doesn't.

Neither of those losses are tooooo bad, although the 40 should be corrected. I'm with the other poster though, I doubt that hearing loss has affected his speech too much. If it were a few letters or pronunciation issues, yes, but no language at all? I don't think so. I would really get him...

Seekgeo captions all of his. Topics range greatly :)

I have a caption call, I think it's the same thing. I got mine free though, let me look and see if I still have the code.

I learned all my sign from Deaf/HoH people and one class, but I went over to lifeprint and did the first 10 lessons yesterday and did learn a few new signs. It's really well done. I'm going to have my husband do them too so he can try to keep up with me :)

I use a neckloop and t-coils and it sounds a TON better than without the loop (duh, right?? hahaha). Do you have a t-coil?

That's awesome to meet someone else that can sign. I always get excited too, I guess it depends on where you live and how prevalent the community is. Glad she didn't give you a hard time about the horses ;)

Thank you so much! That was amazingly not awkward :) I'll figure out 'each other' and try to find that sign for winter. Good luck on your exams.

I turn mine off all the time too. It's weird that when my loss wasn't as bad, I never turned them off but now that it's worse I wish I could leave them off a LOT. Last week we had our test in ASL class and the students were talking and I couldn't concentrate so I just turned them off. My...

I need a shawl but otherwise I'm pretty set. Ohh, and a new webcam. That chair looks awesome.
