Listener in Deaf community
hoppingpen January 22nd, 2015

Hi Everyone!

My username is hoppingpen and I am hard-of-hearing but identify with the Deaf community! I just wanted to say that if you are having trouble finding a sympathetic listener who is hearing, message me and I would be more than happy to chat!

Thanks! hoppingpen

I'm hearing impaired and wear hearing aids bilaterally. I was diagnosed at 4 years old and I was told it was natural (although there is some debate about it - long story). I don't sign (used to fluently in preschool) and I don't like to identify with the deaf community. However, I'm glad to know I'm not the only hearing impaired Listener here!smiley

I'm about 70% deaf in my right ear. I never thought lip reading was so hard or helpful until I learned. I am open to talk too

@hoppingpen

I love that you are HoH but feel at home in the deaf community. From my understanding, there are barriers between the 2 communities, and as a HoH person, I too, would like to move between the communities. Do you have any advice for me? I am taking ASL and I wear hearing aids and my loss is moderate to severe.

Yay, it's so wonderful to see everyone connecting and participating on 7 cups and the disability community.
