It was so freeing. Probably one of the least stressful pediatric appointments I’ve ever had. #DeafGain #ASL

Hurrah for home, I hope that means your pain is now better and you have A Plan for next time.

One advantage to being deaf, I am not kept awake in hospitals! Definite #DeafGain there! Morphine gives me killer insomnia tho!

Now hopefully you can have a bit of a rest and catchup with yourself.

Some days I’m grateful my hearing aids have mute buttons. I don’t know how people who can’t turn off their ears handle it. 😖🤫🦻 #DeafGain #HearingAid #Overstimulated #ListeningBreak #SilenceIsGolden

photo of "audioscan" testing output with an error message warning that the sound pressure level exceeded the safety limit so the test was aborted. the software is showing some charts of decibel levels and stuff i don't understand so i can't explain it, but the colors are pretty.

every now and then i run into an audiologist who marvels over how on paper i "shouldn't be able to use hearing aids". had one try speech mapping on me for the first time and it did not go as he expected. my deafness cannot be understood by mortal man or machine

Deaf Blunt versus Autistic Blunt | Thomas Muething

How is different Deaf and autistic blunt? We Deaf allistic (i.e., non-autistic) people do not deserve to have our culture and language pathologized even more. We are already the subject of speech-language pathology. - thomasmuething.com/deaf_culture... #MedSky #DeafGain

Bronze sculpture of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and young Alice Cogswell. Gallaudet is seated and, by resting his right thumb next to his closed fist, makes the ASL sign for the letter A. He gazes down at Alice, who also signs the letter A with her right hand while clutching a book to her heart with her left hand. She looks up at Gallaudet. Blue skies and green trees are behind the sculpture on the campus of the American School for the Deaf.
