Califgirl, I was HOH for years then lost all my hearing .up until then I had only lived in the hearing world, I have found it hard to make that jump into being Deaf. Get some good lip reading classes I did and lip read well, I dont sign too good as my family wouldnt accept my deafness and I wasnt allowed to sign at home my mother told me it embarrassed her when I did it god knows why. I still date hearing guys but am selective as I find they dont really want to comit to a deafie and I have had 2 who mocked the way I spoke to their friends when I was there ie " listen to anna she sounds like she has a sock in her mouth" and other ruder things, so now I am looking for a Deaf or HOH boy friend. Dont hang onto the hearing world califgirl cos you aint never going back to it. Be proud of your deafness I am.
