Hello all!

Thanks for taking the time to read my message. It has been a while since I've been active on a forum so this is kinda fun for me :')

As a construction worker I've been exposed to loud noise pretty regularly. Sometimes its noise from machines, people working away, and what not. But it would appear that its been having an effect on my hearing! I've been getting my hearing tested quite frequently (I'd say maybe once a year for the past few years). Although my hearing is still very audible, there is some minor degredation. Also I have a family history of hearing complication. The more I think about it the more it seems like it might be a smart idea to learn to sign. I started learning online recently and found the process to be quite fun. Not only a valuble language, as a social person being able to opens doors to communicate with people that I may have had more difficulty with in the past.

I really enjoy outdoorsie stuff (hiking, kayaking), and socializing, I'm a film nerd :') So what is your favorite movie!

Please to mee you.

Jo.

Hey man. I'm a new hearing asl learner. I transport crude oil and work on learning languages in my spare time. 

I need to find a consistent deaf "buddy group somewhere or here in texas. It seems that the Deaf community is very shy.
