I'm fully Deaf myself, have been since I was 12. I'd suggest taking a sign language class somewhere. your community college, a church, or a Deaf center in town. It isn't hard to find a class these days.

I have really bad inner ear issues of late and I have some ringing, I think that is what it is, like everything is an echo tunnel! So I find myself not wanting to go out to crowded places because I cant hear when people try to call to me or just try to talk to me! Even my phone is on the loudest level and if I am out, I have problems to understand what a caller is saying that is if I hear my phone! I actually have stopped answering the phone when I am out because of this! I think they will try to tell me I need allergy shots again but, I cant take them anymore because of my ms. Any kind of shot causes me to pass out woe. I even have to lay down if they need to draw blood otherwise I pass out when my lips turn blue woe!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>So is their a specific test I should ask for? I do not want the general hearing test because it always seems to be in a controlled environment. NO one has ever said why my ears ring and I get that echo tingling tunnel affect! It is real annoying because my ears buzz and they iche inside of my ear! Does this happen to anyone else? <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Thanks cheers Heather <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>"Blindness is a characteristic, not a handicap!"
