Asking for advice

Recommended Posts

I've recently had surgery for middle ear implants however this unfortunately has left me with pretty much no hearing at all what little I did have has gone, even with my BTE aids still nothing how much harder will it be to learn sign language. Trying to prepare myself as it could be permanent damage to my hearing from the surgery 😕 struggling to find local face to face classes so looking like online courses. I've done the BSL 10 lessons but this is not going to be enough moving forward.

    • My name is Jacqui and I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire.  I currently work for the NHS, and we receive patients who are deaf or have significant hearing problems. This motivated me to learn sign language so that I could communicate with patients better and on a more personal level rather than using a system called the Language Line. At present, I am learning BSL, Introducing British Sign Language. The course is going very well, and I am enjoying studying very much.

    • Hello, my name is Vikki. I'm 34 years old, I have 5 small children and I've signed up to this to learn sign language. I believe everyone should be taught sign language so that anyone that is deaf or has any kind of hearing loss is able to communicate. Hearing loss can happen to anyone at any time so I believe it should be taught to everyone to help ensure we're heading in the right direction for being inclusive.
