My name is Shivonne and i am a CODA (child of a deaf adult. well technically hard of hearing. REALLY hard of hearing. but super expensive hearing aids take care of that.) I am 15! I am learning ASL. again. Apparently i was very fluent when i was younger. I have progressive hereditary hearing loss and have already showed signs of loss in my right ear. about 3%. It's not a lot now but every case is different. For example, my sister showed major signs at age 3 whereas I haven't shown signs until now. We don't really rely on ASL in my house but it is used when we don't want other people to know what we're saying I want to become fluent in ASL and possibly pursue a career involved in the Deaf community. Words of encouragement are ALWAYS appreciated!
