She actually has a good sense of humor, but calling her Skunkie would go over the line.

I agree, but, "Skunkie" may be an affectionate term in Canada. I honestly don't know, but I'm willing to give benefit of doubt here.

But, you're right. Here in the U.S., it would be rude. If I called my Mother that, that would probably be the last thing I ever said to anybody! :lol:

:lol: I can imagine.

I used to know a deaf guy whose nickname was Skunkie because he had Wardenburg's and he had a wide stripe of white hair across his head just like a skunk.
 
I still have trouble hearing my hearing aids.. My ears are ringing really bad since I started wearing them again. The sounds I remember hearing them, I can't hear them anymore. I had the same old microwave since 1996. I remember hearing beeps when the food is done when I'm in the kitchen (with CI, it is another room) I tried several different old hearing aids but I can't hear that microwave beep anymore. But I can hear few things. But I can tell you one thing, The music sounds a WHOLE lot better with hearing aids even though I'm hearing limit of sounds. Acoustic sounds, I suppose.

anyway, I wonder that eek you are hearing is the ringing of your ears. I'm hearing the same thing after not wearing hearing aids for so long.
 
Well done travis. I am wishing you more enjoyment with your new hearing aid's. Keep up the good work my friend!!! In regards to the young woman who calls her mother skunky.. Stop to think that it could be a old nickname her mother received a long time ago and just stuck with her? I highly doubt the young woman is calling her mother a bad name.

It is not nice to call your mother "Skunkie." You should be ashamed. :nono:

In America, it would be considered rude to refer to a Mother as such, but maybe, in Canada it isn't? :dunno:

It's not polite to call someone that. :laugh2:

Although "skunkie" sounds like a nickname or an ethnic word phonetically spelled in English.
