The one thing is that I am not looking to become Deaf (capital D). I know that it is going to be impossible for me to become that. I am more like Heather Whitestone. She signs, meets deaf people, but isn't Deaf. Their ideas do not match my values. I want to be able to make friends with...

I think the movie is fake, so that's not reality. Because they are there with you at all time that you need them, they are with you in your doctor's business despite the confidentiality which doesn't make anything any better. I have had bad experiences with interpeters except with one all...

Why are they hanging themselves on hooks for? Do they get the fun out of it such as meditation hanging from a hook? I am wondering, they never explained! It's just to impress?

I have changed majors 3 times. 1. Medical Lab Technology (4 years) 2. Environmental Lab Technology (2 years) 3. Forensic Lab Technology (2 years, but needs at least a Masters to get into that specific field, but could get into other Labs such as chemical etc because of the skills...quiet...

Lianca, may you have a wonderful day on appointment day. Don't expect anything, but be okay with whatever happen and take it easy. I didn't understand a crap with my CI when one woman spoke until I put on HA. Make sure you get into auditory training and do it daily for at least an hour...

Many of us too end up in hardship. I don't think like you because I know that if I were hearing it'd be easier in one part of my life. I wouldn't have to depend on anything other than myself. I have never liked interpreters and having a hard time not being able to converse among people. You...

Hi, thanks. It's better to talk to someone than a worker from NTID/RIT. She made it seem like it's hard to get a captioner and that I have to talk to someone special about it. She was hearing impaired herself. What about homework? I have a difficult time doing my homework in one sitting...

The thing that I am itch me is that some people believe in WAITING until the child can decide, but it's very common fact that when you start earlier the better. If you don't try to have the CI earlier, it's going to be in no doubt harder for them. Why make it so hard to wait until later...

Where I live...almost 2 years ago. Many of the lands were grass and not many houses. It's very much country. Over the next few weeks as I before we moved and after we moved, we saw a DRAMATIC change. They are now in constructions to make the roads wider and more stores and more suburban...

Then save it until they stop selling us oil. I have done a paper about it, and I am very against it, but I cannot remember all the details why. I got an A on my paper though. I am very much against it. Drilling oil damages the land. We don't have that much oil over here, and it can be empty...

I am skeptic about working at a fast food chain like McDonald's. I was told by some that it's a bad place to work, and I don't know why, but my aunt told me that you get grease on your clothes. 1)Any of you worked at a fast food chain? 2)What do I tell them so that they do not give me the...

I hope that this is kept to the point. It's a question I wonder. What do you think about children who are successful with a cochlear implant? While I hear stories about those who are against it because it will 'take away childrens' identity' I don't hear any credits given to those who are...

What is the difference between NTID/RIT? I have reviewed some of the information from NTID/RIT, and viewed almost their whole website, including their virtual tour. I went to college for almost 2 years after high school. I left in the Spring quitting all my classes in the end. I have...

There was never EVER a time that my hearing mother (divorced) said I couldn't do anything. My father never did either, but I did not live with him the past 11 years, so I cannot say anything else. He does encourage me to stay in college though. The only times when my mother just frustrated...

Which is what I am saying. It happens to anyone, so Martha should be no exception as the national citizens.

Okay, I think that Martha should be treated like the rest of Americans. I don't think she needs priority because she is rich or has a million dollar company. It doesn't matter anymore...look at Bobby (Whitney Houston's husband)...he gets in and out of jail all the time PLUS several other...

I need total darkness, and no hearing (my CI needs to be off and HA (in the past of course). I should buy one of those mask to cover the eyes, but if I use my alarm clock which I have it hooked up to a lamp. It wouldn't work....I am unable to use the trembling thingy you place under the...

I already explained why. Go back to the post above yours.

The way I see that it is this way is because deafness is a disability, and many of us know the hardship we face sometimes because we cannot hear. If you say you don't live a hard life...more power to you, but a lot of us really do have a hard time sometimes. It's one reason some people want to...

Don't give him sex until your relationship becomes real or he'll dump you in the face.
