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.

Hi, not sure if I'm doing this right for introductions.. I've been trying to learn sign for long time.. Have issues learning new stuff in general, Autistic adult, 47..decided it was time to just keep trying.. Some call me Catt, others call me Jo..whichever.. definitely want to learn sign and get on the path should've been on long ago; for friends, maybe part time work and love of the language, since I was a young kid.. Still in very beginning stages and have trouble not understanding finger spelling, but being able to make it a word in my head, have to write each letter down as signed to see it I guess.. learning on lingvano app..

    • That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama 
    • You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.
    • Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
