I am confused I have moderate to severe hearing loss, I am mod -severe to profound in my left ear an mod-severe in my right, and I still talk on the phone...

im sorry but im a tad slow and not good with analogies lol. whats the difference between a Hoh ferret and Hoh cat again what are you trying to say lol

Okay thank you for the enlightenment, I thought I already knew this, but apparently I did not make this clear, I made myself too much of an aggressive person on this site without realizing it. On other forums its the other way around, people wont talk to you or know who you are unless you make...

Again, the only thing for me to do is to apologize, so I am sorry. I am only just learning about Deaf/deaf Culture I have only been involved for about a year. I never claimed to know everything about Deaf Culture well...because I don't. I was just sharing experiences of mine on in relation to...

Thank you for not attacking me and pointing out the mistake I made, I was intentionally referring to culturally Deaf people mostly. I was taught that little d deaf meant what the audiogram says, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I was wrong in using Big D Deaf, even thought that was what I was...

I see there was a certain way to use this site, and I'm not allowed to make posts unless people "know who you are" that makes sense. and is understandable. my intention was never to kiss up and make friends with people but to just learn and gain different concepts and ideas. If I'm wrong for...

I am HOH I am NOT Deaf, however I'd like someone to explain to me what the difference is since some people appear to think that I don't know. Also, there are a SOME Deaf people, NOTICE HOW I SAID SOME!! that don't like HoH people. If it doesn't bother anybody, please give me some of the reasons...

I am getting the impression that all of you just think I'm widely ignorant, if so, so be it, for those of you who understand what I'm talking about and are willing to ask questions and understand more when they think they may not understand thank you. This is a forum to share ideas, opinions...

Good for you, and thank you for sharing your experiences, its gets along a lot better than one judging someone else and not expecting to get judged right back, if theirs something that you think I'm obviously not understanding..EXPLAIN, don't just bash on the person. For whatever reason not just...

Ahh no kidding?? Hard of Hearing is not Deaf, I've said that like about 20 times, whats your deal. Ill say it for the record, HARD OF HEARING IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN BEING DEAF. I UNDERSTAND THIS. 2nd POINT I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED THAT DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING ARE THE SAME. GET THAT IN YOUR...

I see this has nothing to do with my post, you just don't want anyone who isnt deaf (by audiogram standards) to have anything to say about Deaf Culture or the apparent challenges they face on a daily basis. You have an apparent bitterness towards the Hoh community and hearing community for an...

Yes thats extremely offensive, in so many ways its not even funny.

I'm sorry you feel this way, you seem to have some apparent bitterness that no one can help you with accept for yourself, and instead of opening your mind a little and asking questions you assume that every Hearing or HoH person has to be ignorant. Its sad because you just slapped a judgment on...

SO are you saying that you have to be defined by what an audiogram tells you. I'm sorry but there is such a thing as being culturally Deaf, if that weren't true you wouldn't have codas. I'm Hard of Hearing personally but, this is just my input.

Yes im refering to to everything relating to music and Dance, thank you. Its an important topic for me because I am a dancer (freestyle hip-hop) I know there are Deaf people who are passionate about music an Dance and they shouldn't be discredited because of ignorance

Why do you think this, I am very clearly aware of what it means to be HoH and what it means to be Deaf, I just happened to share my personal experience with what one confused hearing person had commented to me about. Then I shared my experience in talking with a Deaf person I happened to...

Dopeness on the music preference!

I'm Hard of Hearing personally but occasionally I run into this issue. I am freestyle dancer and once in awhile I get people that come up to me all shocked...WOW your an amazing dancer, followed by, I'm so sorry. I'm confused as to why they're sorry so I ask; their response, well you can't hear...

Its good that you point that out, yes there is a difference in learning about who you are as a person and being on a quest to find acceptance. In reality your not going to find this so-called acceptance within anybody else, you have to find it within yourself. Identity is not an issue. I was...

Your absolutely right in that aspect. However I realize that I am in a between grey area of Deaf World and Hearing World, and I am just beginning to learn about myself in relation to the experiences. My question to you is why not be part of both worlds, I want this not as a solution, there will...
