Hi Cynthia, How are you? I just got an e-mailed invitation from you re: LinkedIn, what a lovely surprise, thanks so much! Unfortunately, my husband prefers us not to have a large online presence (I'm not even sure exactly, how LinkedIn works... we are not on facebook or anything, I am sadly green on the subject). But you've made my day... Thanks so much! I will have to make a point of following you more closely over here now, right?! :) Thank you again! Warmly, Donna

Hi Cynthia, my blog is http://www.AussieStampers.blogspot.com.au
Enjoy your new starter kit!
ASL is "American Sign Language". As mentioned I didn't learn it until I was an adult. It really helps when it's available (but much like captions, most people don't consider to learn it until they need to). As mentioned it is a real personal decision about implants. Here is a good documentary I saw once about cochlears. It is over an hour to watch it but unfortunately it's not captioned ( go figure! ) I saw it when it was on the tv. http://youtu.be/0ki4qo-Dfos I don't see it on Netflix but I see that there is a DVD out to purchase, though it's unclear if the subtitles work on it as some of what I'm seeing says it works and some say it doesn't. Maybe your library will have it to borrow so you don't have to make a purchase to find out it doesn't work.
Hi again. They were ASL interpreters. I grew up oral, no signing but I learned it as an adult to help enhance communication. I speak well though, so I'm glad for that. Are you considering a cochlear? I personally wouldn't get one. I may not qualify for one anyway because my hearing loss is nerve damage, not structural. I do think it's a personal choice however. I think the person receiving it should be the one to decide which is why I don't like parents making that decision for their young children since the machine is embedded into your brain . I first learned of them when I was 9 years old and was very excited until I found out I would still have to wear a machine. I'm learning to embrace my hearing loss a bit, though there are always struggles but I suppose that's true for everyone in one way or another.
You are definitely not alone as a demonstrator with hearing loss. I was able to go to convention 2011, and I met I think 6 other deaf/HOH demonstrators there. They had interpreters for us so we didn't miss a thing. I wish I could go again, but if I ever do go again, I might try and plan an evening event to meet up with others. Most of the ones I've met are just hobby demonstrators, but I do try to make mine a business.
So glad YOU are a member of our Late Night Stamper group Cynthia. Make sure to check out our Treasure Hunt game with $150.00 stamp prize! http://www.stampinconnection.com/group/LNS
