Hi there, I'm Pixel, and I'm hoh. :cheers:

I recently moved from the U.S. Midwest to the Deep South. The people speak very differently here, which has made me realize how much I was unconsciously relying on visual cues, context, and backwards-parsing to understand. There, I was able to piece together meaning most of the time (if the speaker was facing me and there wasn't a lot of background noise). Here, it's much harder.

I haven't taken any steps toward diagnosis yet, but I believe I have conductive hearing loss. My mom is convinced I have otosclerosis, because she and her mother had it. She might be right; the symptoms seem to fit.

But enough about that, it's only a little piece of who I am. I'm also an avid player of World of Warcraft... I'm married to an awesome guy... I love reading, middle eastern food, and my cats... I'm looking at getting back in school to study graphic design... and I'm glad to meet all of you! :D

Welcome to AllDeaf, Pixie! :thumb:

I am in Georgia just barely outside of the Atlanta, area just minutes away from the Alabama state border. Like you, I am one of many non-natives here. :)
 
welcome! I know the change is incredible. My hearing isnt so awesome and I dont realize how much I read lips and expressions until I get on the phone or go visit my family in Tenessee..the worst is when they call up here! I am new too. but I hope you enjoy it.
