My son finally received his bilateral cochlear implant upgrade. Today we are going in to program and get him up-to-date with everything. It's been more than a decade since his last upgrade and both of those were discontinued. It's been a major struggle for him through this whole journey but, I'm putting on my mom face and will help him navigate today with positivity and love. Thank you all for being here and caring about the community that desperately needs more advocates. Have a great day everyone.

I am soon to be functionally deaf

Hello, my name is Kris and as the title states I am soon to be deaf as I have some inner ear issues that will require having the middle ear bones removed from my right ear and my left ear is already mostly deaf. I'm really enjoying learning ASL so far and I'm looking forward to being able to still hold conversations with some even though I won't really be able to hear. I hope everybody had a good Christmas and wish everybody a happy new year!

🌺🌸why are you learning ASL?🌸🌺

I am learning ASL because my best friend is deaf and with people who do know ASL, she doesn’t have her hearing aids in, and I want to support her and become more close with her so that’s why I am learning ASL. Also, because I think it’s a fun way to connect to so many more people, cultures, and communities. Why are you?

Asl class and their inaccessibility.

At least where I live, ASL classes are very inaccessible. There should be classes inside public schools. It's kinda stupid how hard it is to learn ASL (at least where I live). Not only is it a language, it's a means of accessibility. Why should a language for the deaf be so inaccessible? And it doesn't help that some PAID classes are textbooks. TEXTBOOKS. The teacher barely even knows the language! Anyways I'm done ranting.

your goal 👀

What's the reason that made you start learning sign language?
