From the age of 5 i have had slight hearing loss that got worse and at 14 + i was barely able to hear. After surgery to correct that at 16 all was well but the drs were very honest and said that by the time i get to 30 my hearing will be back to how it was and will just keep getting worse.

My mother, me and my 5 year old daughter have decided to learn together before my hearing get worse.

      What is epilepsy/epileptic in BSL?

      Hello

      By Rachel Knapp · Posted

      Hello I'm Rachel and I have just begun learning BSL. My interest to learn BSL is because of my uncle, who was born deaf. I can do some very basic signs to communicate with him but want to be able to communicate more with him.

      BSL for pharmacy

      By LCPharm · Posted

      I started to learn BSL during the first lockdown. I'm a student pharmacist and saw that I could get the course at a discount.

      Meniere's Disease

      By George Louise · Posted

      Hey all! After years of issues with my balance, sickness, ear 'fullness', tinnitus and increasing hearing loss, I finally have a diagnosis of Meniere's Disease. After a few days of shock/crying/coming to terms with it (it is quite advanced, progressive and incurable), I have returned to my usual default position of positivity.
