DeafDC.com · 28 minutes ago
In DC, is there a place you can go where everyone knows your name in sign? (Okay, sorry for the lame attempt at trying to re-create the spirit of the theme song from “Cheers” ... Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our [...]

Deaf Anthology · 4 hours ago
Believe it or not, there is only one thing that both Gallaudet and Bell have in common after studying thousands of documents from various archives, in a frustrating, time-consuming effort to discover, if any, what they have in common, despite their conflicting viewpoints which are well known. In summary, Gallaudet is support of sign language, whoever coined ASL, unkno...

Deaf Pagan Crossroads · 8 hours ago
Are employers required to assure that televisions in private residences where they employ staff to care for clients are closed captioned for any deaf or hard of hearing staff to be able to enjoy watching television the same as the hearing staff do?

(36 visits) My white whale: fingerspelling
Inaudible Nonsense · 8 hours ago
So fingerspelling is a bit frightening, a much bigger hurdle than signing words and phrases. I mean it feels like a bit like what watching foreign-language television used to when I could hear. A lot of fast attempts at communication and about zero comprehension. I've taken to practicing quite a bit in random places, especially [...]

Later that evening, Jen and I went to Point Pleasant Beach. I grew up with some strong nautical family ties to the ocean. I grew up with the beach at my doorstep. When I lost my hearing in February of 2007, I was still hoping that my hearing was going to come back any day. I realized that it wasn’t after I went on a vacation with a couple friends to Myrtle Beach a...

I was reading about 'Aid Pride', i.e. those wearing hearing aids rebelling against the stereotype, and showing their hearing aids off in many shapes and colours. One man said "I am proud to be deaf, I don't care who sees I am wearing a hearing aid." Then found he wasn't being taken seriously.... The problem in highlighting the fact you have a hearing aid (Aid Prid...
