I am from Canada and just recently stumbled upon your website and found some of your stories quite interesting. I would like to get to know to people who suffer severe hearing loss like myself. As where I am from i know nobody with a situation like myself. A little about myself..I am 20 years old and have a profound hearing loss. I wear hearing aids in both ears but do not know sign language at all. I am told i speak well but i took speech therapy when i was younger and that played a huge role....I am about to attend a business program starting in January.. I am currently working at a building centre and play hockey for the local junior team..I am a big guy 6"4 220 pounds and like to party but have struggled with my hearing loss as all my friends are "normal" and do not really understand me as sometimes they may take my behaviour the wrong way haha..As situations like in a bar where it's loud and i have a hard communicating but i am an avid lip reader so that helps out...I also relish quiet enviroments such as sitting on a back patio having a beer opposed to being in a highschool cafeteria where 200 kids are flapping their gums a hundred miles per second. If anybody wants to know anything else just give me a shout.

Hi!!! welcome to AD! I did come across this website my accident last month ^_^
 
Hello there. But we don't suffer hearing loss. We rejoice!! Soon you will be indoctrinated. :)
 
Yea I am open to any new ideas or methods to cope but i am not making excuses..life is like a hand of cards it is dealt to you. It's up to you to make the best of it.
 
welcome to AD!

I'm kinda like you since I struggle with speech but planning to go high tech very soon!!!! (getting new hearing aids in 2011)
and I also wear 2 in both ears

:welcome: to AllDeaf forum, Moose. Deafness is the way we are used to and you need to adapt to it. I am guessing that you were not born deaf or become deaf in childhood. Silence is golden and I love it. I am only wearing one hearing aid on the left ear but very profound deaf on the right ear as I can not hear anything from the hearing aid. One hearing aid is enough for me. I am very happy being deaf. I hope you can enjoy reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here. :wave:
 
I'm tempted to create a new account called "Freddy"

i was born deaf or became ill as an infant and that led to hearing-loss. I have worn hearing aids all my life.
 
Haha Highlander i am king kong compared to Jason but you seem like quite the character so tell me what is your story?
 
Bebonang thank you for the warm reception and I am really looking forward to being apart of this forum.
 
welcome to ad. why have a problem drinking beer?? haven't you seen the T-shirt saying " i don't have a drinking problem. i drink. i fall down. no problem" should be about the same when you are with hearing people, just fall down on hearing peeps not the deaf ones
