New to room. Hi! I already found help with phone service here. From San Angelo, TX. Think I may be only one, or maybe two or three more.
It's nice to be here. Thanks for being here.

Welcome! Little confuzzled about your message, but I hope you like it here!
 
Hi. Didn't you introduce yourself a few days ago?

I am actually still puzzling over your statement of being "legally hoh/deaf."

It's not like blindness. :confused:

But welcome anyway.:wave:
 
Deaf/HOH I lost most hearing abt 9 yrs ago, due to surgery. Already lost more to age, maybe heredity problem. I am now "hard of hearing". That means with 2 major big hearing aids I can do ok, but can't wear them due to problems with infection. I wear one of those "listener" things with head phones most of the time. Within two or maybe three years I will be "deaf". I rely on pet dog (not "hearing dog") for wake ups, door alerts, drop in visitor alerts. At work I rely on my version of lip reading, (best guess) my version of cued speech, (hold up asl alphabet in response to HUH??) and my friendly coworkers. I probably did post earlier but got lost in the page. I am just learning, sorry!

Thanks for the warm welcome and I do like it here. I already learned a lot, and found some very interesting news, posts and other things. One of the things I learned is that my cell phone co. has been fibbing about having no services just for me. Guess that comes from not taking the time to do more research!

No don't apologize. I am just curious about your term of "legally deaf/hoh".

There are certainly degrees of deafness, but no legal cutoff. So I wonder what you mean. I am severe/profound. That is a level.

Me too! Isn't she precious? I could go on all day about her, but I'll spare you. :P (I assume you are talking about me because I am the only one with a photo of a baby.). Anyway, welcome here and don't worry about being new! You'll catch on!

:P I thought she was talking about my green hat, so I was being very polite to say nothing.
 
ahh, understand now. Deaf. LE mod/sev RE profound (audiologist)
because there is what they have called "residual"???? some say HOH. (family doc)
Can't and won't usually wear the HA's due to rec. infections, irritations. Pbflllt to doc who doesn't have itchy ears! I wear a listening thing that DARS got for me. More power than HA's and no ite probs
I usually say "DEAF". When I take off the equipment, it sure is peaceful. :) Hope it is less confusing now
 
Like hats love babies!

That little baby is precious. Being of a Celtic nature, Green hats and clovers not only are nice, but make me hungry. I'm off for a bowl of cereal. :D
g'nite!

2 dogs for me. Both are supposed to be Shih Tzu/Poodle
crossbreeds, but in reality one is a Poodle and one a Shih Tzu.

They alert me to everything and are very good companions. Plus they are natural comedians and keep me and my husband laughing.

What kind is your dog?
