Oooooooo. Maybe I'll be able to use my phone as a phone again!BalRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160222426481283008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256408748340330512.post-60324506285243785602011-08-03T15:07:01.544-05:002011-08-03T15:07:01.544-05:00My thoughts are with you.

Maybe you'll end up with one of those cool bluetooth hearing aids.<br /><br />SteveSteve Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376583750150426013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256408748340330512.post-42536804673774047632011-08-01T23:07:02.064-05:002011-08-01T23:07:02.064-05:00Something to consider, Todd.

I'll remember to bring it up at the next appointment.<br /><br />I still haven't started on ASL, haven't really even figured out how I can or should approach it yet. But I want to try to open up all avenues of communication that I can. And I have to start planning now to make that happen.BalRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160222426481283008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256408748340330512.post-63011651887526291232011-07-31T21:43:26.360-05:002011-07-31T21:43:26.360-05:00Very interesting read hearing first hand what this...Very interesting read hearing first hand what this is like for you. I always assumed your hearing loss was military related - probably because I know several people around the same age with hearing loss and that seems to be the common cause. Good luck with the ASL - seems difficult at my age to learn something totally new like that - but I am sure necessity helps with the motivation.Todd Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486092771255115561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256408748340330512.post-37272180425809425832011-07-31T13:55:17.101-05:002011-07-31T13:55:17.101-05:00Air travel figures into some aspects of my hearing...Air travel figures into some aspects of my hearing loss too.<br /><br />Having been deaf for so long, I assume your dad knows ASL? Possibly you do too? Do you have any opinions about the best way for a newly-deaf adult to learn ASL?BalRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160222426481283008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256408748340330512.post-34522591752078009732011-07-31T12:08:38.852-05:002011-07-31T12:08:38.852-05:00My fingers are crossed that it will get better for...My fingers are crossed that it will get better for you. Dad lost most of his hearing from unpressurized military and cargo flying as a foreign correspondent years ago, so I know how this is a little bit from the family side.Colonel Nikolaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580281432776550606noreply@blogger.com
