Me too

Update: hearing is fine. Dr wants me to try low salt diet for tinnitus. Said what I thought was hearing loss was caused by the pressure in my ears. Could be a cochlea thingy. Not dying of brain cancer, not rapidly losing my hearing. He just wants to keep an eye on me. Thanks everyone for support!

Right now I live with my dad and yes completely different

A one shot about losing hearing/gaining deafness "So you're not scared?" "Most days? Not really. I mean obviously it's an adjustment. And crowds and phone calls are annoying. But most days I'm just annoyed with the being in between. You know, hearing people smack and slurp and pop gum but...

I am! Have some messed up poems but most just fluffy

My dad was a single parent throughout my teens. If he can handle that then I'm pretty sure a single dad could handle a toddler

I dunno of this counts for this thread but whatever. I miss my mommy. Let me explain. My mom and I were outwardly very close when I way little. She was my favorite person. She stayed with me till I was old enough for kindergarten. And it was amazing... Most of the time. My mom had very bad...

I'm not exactly neuro typical. I have A.D.D. and autism like tendencies. It was a prompt in creative writing class. I like writing in different perspectives. I like trying to, instead of creating a character and writing, peer into a character's head and then write what I find. I also find it...

Huh. Didn't think I was deaf enough to be hard of hearing. Okay. I can live with that. I guess. Wow. :shock:

@dogmom I don't consider myself to be deaf yet, just hearing never gets better with age.. I kind of ran off into twelve different paths and forgot where I started from and decided to post the train wreck anyway. As of right now I consider myself mildly hard of hearing because I'm fine in a quiet...

I had to schedule it myself. This was a minor emergency clinic... I don't have a regular doctor, and I haven't had a hearing test since middle school, maybe even before that. I've done online ones, but no official tests.

Probably just sore. They're doing things they're not used to, and my ligaments are loose so... I'll just use braces or arthritis gloves. Should be fine. Just checking to see if normal. I'm terrified of messing everything up, as I probably need ASL later.

Absolutely not easy, though I've gotten pretty fast, all things considered

I also sign left handed, as that feels more natural, but wright right handed because I was forced. So some of it is probably because I'm not used to moving that hand as much. I'll get a keyboard thing and wrist braces

Yeah, anything that turns my hand like this hurts. At first my e was super tight, but I've kinda loosened up. Apparently I just need to live at a doctor's office:laugh:

Yeah, they thought I was autistic. It resolved itself before school though, so I never had to do speech in school. But yeah, I would make up some nonsense babbling and gestures and sing. Mostly sing. So my mom called me her songbird.

Hey, everyone! I'll be seen June 17th!!!!

Thanks!

Hey, y'all. Been learning sign language for about a month now and my wrists really hurt. I've loosened up and practiced less, but they still hurt. Any thoughts on how to make this better?

What is considered late deafened? I've had tinnitus for years and suddenly my ears started hurting and everything was muffled. So mild hearing loss right now I guess. Haven't been to ent yet; full story on introduce yourself thread. So... I forgot what I was asking...
