Lounge for Deaf people and their allies

At the school where I work we technically use PSE but I think it ends up being more of a combination of ASL and PSE. I study both and think both are useful.

Femmedyke: I know it is VERY expensive to have CI. Last time i heard was $60K but Im sure there r some way to get some help by Vocab Rehabit. I was going to get some help by VR but didnt have time to get a day off and stop by the office to discuison for Hearing Aids. I dont wear hearing aids for almost 4 yrs now. I like to listen the sound but not the words. Alot of my hearing friends said.. You r really lucky that u cant hear. Cuz they cant stand the sound like fire alarm or people get into arguement, etc. For me: I wish i can hear cuz i wanted what the sound of people's accent.. birds sing, waterfall.. many more.
