I posted a new thread yesterday, introducing myself to this community. I got a message saying that it needed to be viewed by a moderator before being posted. Ok, fine. But it should be on here by now, you would think. Where is it?

Hmm. You know what's funny, I never thought of naming my glasses. I guess because my glasses are mainly for nearsightedness. However my hearing aid is a device that links me to the auditory world, such as music and movies. Speaking of which, I remembered exactly why I refer to my new Phonak...

Very interesting thread. I love etymology, and I would love to learn where different signs come from. For example, does anyone know the origin of the sign for strange? I just learned it, and to be frank it IS a rather strange-looking sign. As to iconic signs. I can totally see where signs...

I am learning ASL because I was never given the chance to when I was a child. I think all deaf children should be given the opportunity for both signing and speech.

I have not tried the Oticon, although I have heard of it. For me, personally, I love my Naida Phonak. I had a Bernaphon hearing aid for three years, starting in 2008, and I never really liked it.
