Hi, I am newly deaf, because of a tumor. Loss all hearing. I was told the best way to adjust to my new lifestyle is to be around people who are also hearing impaired. I would like to get to know some of you, make new friends. My name is Akiji and I am from Hawaii. I now live in Colorado. I am also a T-4 complete paraplegic, that is another story.
I enjoy reading the information this site has to offer. Please excuse me if I seem out of place. I am still adjusting. Losing my hearing late in life, has really changed my perspective. I am trying to learn ASL, I found out classes are expensive, and hard to find in my area. Books, Internet, videos..I know it's not enough but a start. Any suggestions would be helpful. I lost friends who couldn't cope, I hope to make new ones.
Thanks again. thanks for reading.
