Hi Ladies,
 
I was very interested reading your recent dialogue (hope you don't 
mind the eavesdropping.) Very similar thoughts and experiences to 
mine. I have Usher's Syndrome Type II.  That means that I have been 
gradually losing my hearing and vision over the years. Kinda hard 
at times, fer sure. I never know if the people I meet are going to 
take so much educating that we never get to just relax and be people, 
rather than subjects of each other's paranoia. Tho I have very little 
hearing left, I tend to still prefer using my own ALD's, mostly a 
Telex FM system. In fact though, I end up using signing with hearing 
friends who don't know sign language at all!! In other words, new 
habits are arising.
 
And the beat goes on...
 
Hope to chat again sometime. Enjoy til then.
 
Mitch
