Hi everyone! I've just joined so I thought I would introduce myself :) I am from Tennessee and currently 24 and just finished up undergrad and hopefully heading to med school. Due to health issues that required heavy use of IV antibiotics for long periods of time, I have ended up with severe hearing loss in both ears although the left ear is now profound. I do wear hearing aids and lip read quite well but I am taking ASL classes to learn but still get quite frustrated with it at times. Happy to find this community and can't wait to get to know some of you :)

Hello and welcome to AD, Scarlet. There are tons of topics here so help yourself and ask questions, contribute commentary, too. Best wishes for med school.
 
Hi there. The same thing happened to our member HOHDougRN. Also a medical professional
 
Wow that's great to hear! I will definitely look for HOHDougRN then.. thanks for the info! So great to be here.
 
:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. Have fun reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here. :wave:
 
Hey Scarlet, maybe a good idea might be to apply to RIT or a Rochester NY area school for med school. That way you could take advantage of the resources of NTID, so you could become fluent in ASL.....and then you could advertise yourself as a Deaf friendly doctor!
