First so far I'd like to say that there is obviously a lot to be said about this topic more so than I realized when making the original post. Pretty kool and insightful stuff. I will say this though, In browsing all through this site I've noticed that people have the tendency to personally...

Wow people ask about marrying a deaf person "can we marry one of you" ???wtf some really strange questions,

Thanks for encouraging me to just stand strong and brush off the need to label or be labeled. However alot of people on this site have dealt with alot of BS from the hearing world and HoH. I can understand their frustration and annoyance at some people. I appeared to condescending and a kiss-up...

Well said, however I think HoH people can be mean or rude because in some instances the hearing world tells them they are. For example, once I was "diagnosed" as HoH, my mom began to prepare herself to to teach me ASL at 1 years old. i have mod-severe hearing loss in my right, and mod-severe to...

Went out side to find my scoot tipped over on the ground with all the gas leaked out. Wupee, I just filled it 2 nights ago, there goes 5 dollars lol. Obnoxious college students. Aaand a 10 page research paper. I thought I liked Psychology not after taking this class an realizing that the rest of...

"actually meant," Come to find out I came in here having absolutely NO proper alldeaf forum etiquette and knowing how it works here, Sorry guys

Wow seriously dropping a lot of knowledge out there guys. I think throughout this thread theres been a lot of blanket terminology. example: "i've been socializing with deaf people, and THEY(kinda blanketing them as ALL) are treating me like crap. People are rude or mean on an individual level...

LMAO I'm gone! too funny

I definitely enjoy your posts you have a lot to say, and its extremely enlightening you come across as a Sociologist haha. Never knew just how bad these issue can get within deaf/Deaf community.

Actually mines is mixed mostly conductive with sensorineural loss. and yes I wear the BAHA, the phone is fine for the most part because its directly against my ear, in everyday conversations it gets difficult, and when it becomes a group or when there's background noise, I mostly just shut out...

Point taken, I am exploring what various people have to say and its getting pretty abstract an complicated so far. I will be posting questions though as I'm reading in between writing a paper college sucks sometimes.

This is getting more an more complicated I have moderate-severe in my right ear and moderate-severe to profound in my left ear. I wear a Bone Anchored Hearing, I am able to talk to people and use the phone an all of that, not anywhere near perfectly but I can. Is this not HoH or is HoH a person...

Please read my separate last reply, as well. It is an apology. Thanks for being patient.

However I also see that I should have never even used that what was quoted by Bottesini nomatter how I meant that when I am talking and posting to community who has been constantly believed by the hearing community that they cannot read. You are right. I apologize, saying something like that is...

um yes but sort of raises more questions for me, I've have never come across this idea or concept before "HoH and deaf people are both deaf" is this by hearing standards, you've introduce a new concept to me please explain more...thanks for your patience in explaining :)

Ah I see you immediately took that to mean that I meant that deaf people couldn't read. No I said this because some people read only part of something get misinformed and get angry without ever fully reading what someone had to say. You jumped to conclusions, I am not stupid enough to go on a...

haha yes I did judge you, out of anger of being thought of as trying to educate a entire culture about themselves, that's just downright arrogance. Its the classic scenario of feeling pushed and pushed and constantly misunderstood to the point that I choose to retaliate. I made to major post...

Great information, and thanks for sharing. So you are Big D Deaf. :)

Thank you just been trying to find information and people I can relate to on here, I may have gone about it the wrong way. I just want to learn and to also share experiences. And I've been called a hypocrite, deaf wannabe and a kiss up. Not an easy couple of days.

Thank you I've been told that I've presented myself in my posts in the wrong the light. I've only been a member for a couple of days, and I've already been called a deaf wannabe, a hypocrite, and a kiss-up to deaf people in effort to find friends, has not been a welcoming first couple of days...
