Self Introduction

[Triceta]

Hi, my name is Triceta. I am 30 years old. I am Deaf, I lost my hearing in 2023, but I have been signing for 13 years, I took ASL in highschool and just continued signing. I immersed myself in the deaf community, wanting to learn more and to practice the skills I had. Fast forward to 2020, I started having double ear infections and kept complaining of the pain, but nothing was ever done. By the time I saw a doctor who would listen to me and consulted with an ENT specialist, my hearing had already diminished in both ears.

Hi Triceta,

I am 65 and hard of hearing.  I wear a hearing aid in one ear and am profoundly deaf in the other.  Would you be interested in video chatting with me (preferably voice off)?  I have some conversational skills in ASL and the only way I will improve is learning from others.   Thank you.

Yes I'd love to, I won't be able to do it today. But we can plan on it for this week.

Great.  I work weekdays until 4 pm CST so anytime after 5 works for me.  Just give me a shout.  Looking forward to it!  Thank you
