Hey vejas, 
You may know this already, but there is a deafblind division within the NFB. I imagine the division has its own listserve.? 
Best,

I'm still at the point where my hearing is good enough that hearing aids aren't really that helpful, and I can still listen to music easily from both ears.  However, I know that gradual and maybe even total hearing loss is a strong possibility.

I'd like to hear your experiences and how you are adjusting.  So as not to clutter the email list, if you are interested in contacting me, please email me at alpineimagination at gmail.com
