I wish the author signed their name at the bottom of this poem. Does anyone know who this created by?

It is truer than true for those of us who are not candidates for cochlear implants. The risk of that kind of invasive surgery is too much.

Stroke, facial paralysis, brain damage, non closing open wound, infections, seizures, life time headaches, migraines...

Btw, if by a miracle, I ever wake up hearing, just like I woke up deaf, I would never stop signing. Sign language is too beautiful and very beneficial to do away with.

Hello everyone,

I am a Graduate student at the University at Albany studying Educational Psychology and Methodology. I also happen to be hard of hearing so a lot of my research is in line with Deaf Studies. This semester I have been diving into psychometrics and I was tasked with creating a survey for a sample of interest - of course my heart went with the Deaf Community. 

If you are Deaf/deaf/Hard of Hearing and have less than 5 minutes to spare - can you please take this survey about your experiences: https://albany.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6A0ProDTHRGBS1o?fbclid=IwAR3P1jWNEDDl1M540wzXj3EDeY1grMUm04QRlavf3TVnbZ7u_3mpgcW6q48

It is completely anonymous and is not used for any publications! 

"Well you should use a hearing aid or get a cochlear implant"

I shouldn't have to in order to receive basic respect.

My sister found out Ant-man has an ASL version on Disney plus! For the whole movie! Theres a little interpeter in the corner of the screen!

THAT IS SO COOL

I mean, I don't know ASL but. It makes me happy 😊

Apparently it's a marketing gimmick. Marvel plans on debuting a deaf hero at some point. Trying to get more Deaf viewers in.

She said if it goes well, they'll do more!

SPREAD IT. SPREAD IT LIKE WILDFIRE.
