Hello - My name is Alan. I'm a retired counselor living in the Upper Left of the US (aka WA state). I was an interpreter at one time many years ago, left it to raise a family, work 2 jobs and drop off the "sign language" radar for a time. In the past 3 years I have discovered I have a hearing loss. I was diagnosed as hard of hearing and can notice when I wear my hearing aids and when I don't. I am getting back into signing more. My speed and ability to read sign have greatly diminished but I am here to regain that speed and accuracy. Am hoping to develop a greater vocabulary, too. Hope to meet some of you in the forums.

By the way, I am not on any social media of any sort. Due to the nature of the clients I worked with, it was best. I'm not trying to be Mr. Mysterious here, it's just that some of those individuals were not above seeking certain people out.

      Deaf chats, where?

      By AD Code registration · Posted

      An AD Code registration certificate is mandatory for any exporter. This AD certificate links the exporter's transaction with any specific bank account. It makes it easy for exporters to do international payments and the customs process.

      Deaf chats, where?

      By Tiffany Haver · Posted

      I've noticed that there are 2 chats scheduled for every Friday, but I'm never able to get access, says invalid meeting ID; anyone have the same experience? I am an individual who is Hard of Hearing, wear a BAHA hearing aid, and am taking courses to become an ASL/ENG interpreter. I am very interested in joining any chats that are re-occurring, please inform me

      Learning ASL

      By eafe.uka · Posted

      Hey Nadeema Thank you for sharing your story I’m also Hard of Hearing and I really felt your words It’s not easy facing the unknown with your hearing but the strength you’re showing is real Learning ASL changed a lot for me It helped me feel seen and connected in ways I didn’t expect You’re not alone here We’re all learning together and you’ve already taken a big step just by showing up with an open heart If you ever need someone to learn with or talk to I’m around
