There...
 
1. Age
I am 32 and hubby just turned 36
2. name of schools attended?I grew up in a small town so I went to the only grade school there and they were as accommodating as they could be to my hearing problems, such as sitting me in the very front of the class closest to where the teachers would be doing most of their teaching, writing as much as they could on the blackboard of the notes I needed to take and trying to talk where I could clearly see their faces so I could understand them better
3. method of communication used? ASL? PSE? Oral? Other?my dad wouldn't get me hearing aids because he felt I would not use them and that the other kids would make fun of me anyway for wearing them. what he didn't realize is all the things they said about me and stuff cause I couldn't hear them. I had to read lips as best I could and look at peoples faces to help me figure out what they were saying and I had to ask people to talk louder. I am now learning sign language and my husband bought me a pair of hearing aids last year. I also went to Wallace State Community college and got my L.P.N. degree and the state Voc. Rehab helped me to get a magnified stethescope so I could do my vital signs properly.
4. Marital status. Involved with hearing or deaf person?I met my husband online and he has more than perfect hearing. he turns the captions on for me when we watch tv together and he makes sure he gets my attention when he talks to me so I can watch him talk. I got a good hubby.
5. Children? Deaf or Hearing?no kids
6. Does being in a predominately hearing society bother you? name one negative and positive experience you've had.I hate that my parents tried to deny and hide the fact that I was HOH. It caused me all kinds of problems with learning and socializing. They were in their late 30's when they had me in the 70's and it was to them a bad thing to try and accomadate instead of try to help me. til the day my mother died she still said I didn't need to learn sign that it was silly of me to think so that I was not as deaf as those people that used it and it was embarrasing for me to sign in public to her. My dad is almost totally deaf and still says signing is stupid. go figure, he is almost 70 and still lives in his childhood ideas of being dumb or whatever just because he had a hearing problem. The good thing is that I can read lips pretty good and do mime and lipread between hubby and me in crowds and when we don't want other people to know what we arer saying. another is that when I take my hearing aids out at night it is easier for me to rest cause I don't hear all the little annoyances my hubby complains about waking him.
7. Are experiencing any obstacles or frustrations in dealing with a hearing society? yes when I tell people to speak up or to look at me when they talk they look at me like I am from another planet.

5. Children? Deaf or Hearing?

6. Does being in a predominately hearing society bother you? name one negative and positive experience you've had.
Sometime's it bothers me to be with all hearing people, esp cuz they don't understand wat it's like to be hoh/deaf.
Negative-people shouting at me/my friends asking me why i don't have a handicap sign for my car?!:rl:
Positive- People see my ha or i tell them i'm hoh and they are very accomodating. For ex. if i call someone and get a person with an accent i just ask for someone without one since i cannot understand:wiggle:
7. Are experiencing any obstacles or frustrations in dealing with a hearing society?
Sometimes it's hard to get places to accomodate. I had to go to the Supreme Court of Canada for a project and I called for two days trying to get hold of someone to see about a notetaker or even an fm system (they're gov't/parliment so they should have fm or infrared or watever it is). We needed to watch a case but since I never got in contact with someone i didn't go to watch the case and told my teacher that and she was snippy bout it. Not my fault!:dunno2:
