First of all I am a new guy. Whenever you watch a TV show and there is a new guy, he ends up getting killed. So I ask in all sincerity. Don’t kill me.
Any Jewelers out there?
I want an earring made that says - out of order. Or perhaps something clever, like a gold ear with a big white gold circle around it with a white gold line slashed threw it. This symbol is pretty international, as I have seen it in many countries and many airports.
I have a dead ear, the right one. My other ear has 80 percent amplified hearing with about 65 percent-amplified word recognition. This is do to Meneires disease, the rest of my hearing will be gone in a few years.
I see no reason to wear a HA in my dead ear. But everyone assumes that it is my good ear. When someone wants to whisper something to me they lean towards my right ear, I then turn my head to give access to my left ear which in turn makes that person try to out maneuver me because they know best.
It’s like some kind of weird parrot, mating, dance ritual.
I was at lunch yesterday with my wife the (Sea Hag) and when the waitress was telling us the specials I kept moving my head so that my left ear would be towards her.
She actually stopped and asked my wife if I always turned my good ear away when I didn't want to hear someone. Haggy started to explain that the left ear was my good ear and ....I zoned out for the rest of their conversati0on.
When they stopped talking I noticed that they were both looking at me, so I ordered the Salmon.
Then last night we went to professional basketball game. These places are so loud I don’t bother wearing HA at all.
While going through the security I just mimicked everyone in front of me. I am a season ticket holder and have gone to many games. I knew the routine. I had emptied my pockets and had all the contents of my pockets in my hands.
I had my pant legs pulled up and my jacket folded up so they could inspect my waistline and socks for weapons.
Haggy had just gone threw and it was my turn. I stood in front of the guard and slowly turned for inspection. I then lowered my jacket and pant legs and held my arms out horizontally so that I could be wanded with their hand held metal detectors. And I turned my back on the guard.
When I turned to face him, he was yelling at me. He was real pissed. Hag had all ready completed the inspection and was not allowed to return. I saw her yelling at the guard but I couldn't see her lips.
He kept shouting at me and all the people standing near me started moving away.
Hag finally turned her face to me and mouthed "he wants you to empty your pockets"
I am standing in front this dumb-ass with my hands held out holding a billfold, car keys, change, a cell phone, the tickets and a pack of Dentyne gum.
I looked down at my hands and then looked at the security guard and asked: are you stupid or something.
So there I was in the head security dumb asses office.
But that is an entirely different story.
But now hag just told me that the right ear is the gay ear. But I don’t care.
Has anyone seen an earring like this?
Any other suggestions are welcome. This is really starting to piss me off.

to AllDeaf forum. I am really sorry that you went through the inspection to get all of your personal belongings out there. Maybe you should have laid your objects on the table if there is any. If not the guard should know that you were holding your belongings in your hands. You are not the only one. Most common for many Deaf people is that hearing people yell in public not aware that you and deaf people can not hear the sounds or understand what people are saying. Welcome to the Deaf World. Anyway, I hope you have fun and enjoy reading and posting all the threads here. See you around.
