It’s funny the things that have out dated sence we were children growing up. I too remember my mam-maw(southern for grand mother) hang the clothes out to dry. I often thought about doing that again my self. I wouldn’t be so bad now that I have a privacy fence in the back yard.

Comment on Are You Comfortable Being Deaf/Hard of Hearing? by Tiffany Tuttle

I have been hard of hearing for as long as I can remember and had to have a speach therapist to help with my lisp. I grew up reading lips and tried to make a joke of what i heard and what it sounded like they said. For many years it seemed to go over well with my true friends and family . In the last year after loosing my hearing aid that I finally recieved in college I ran into trouble. My husband has gotten frustrated with me and thinks I don’t listen to him. My in-laws don’t understand my hearing loss and I realize that people were laughing at me and not with me. These people actually think I am stupid. If I have a cold or allergies my iner ears fill with fluid and the words I could normally hear become muffled and you know what that means, what, what did you say? Anyways enough with me know there is an issue of my youngest son’s hearing. His hearing is so bad that he hears only high tones in one ear and only low tones in the other. They thought he just had a speach disorder when he was little and they didn’t find his haering loss until 1st grade. On top of his hearing loss he has some learning disabilities. I am know fighting the school district tring to get them to place him in another school and possibly class with someone who also has a hearing loss. He keeps lossing his aids so he can fit in and when he does have them he takes them out, He makes every excuse not to wear them. I went to hi IEP today tring to place him in a special day class and they even went so fare as to say his hearing is fine and that he hears us. What do they know they are not the doctor who checks his ears every year to make sure his hearing hasn’t changed. He hates being in school because the kids bully him yet the staff sease that he is a sweet boy. I argued with the staff in the meeting because they tested him by age when it is not his grade level sense he is a year youger than his class mates. He is 9 in fourth grade becuse of an October birthday and that would make him behind in his studies. They tried putting him in an extended day program that made things worse because when he got home he still had all the homework he would have normally. Last year they were getting modified homework from a younger class. This year they are throwing fourth grade work at him and he can’t grasp the concept. i pulled him out of the extended day and put him in a homework club but they couldn’t help him with the work. He finally just started coming home at the regular time. the last couple of years they have sent him to a special day class summer school and he would come home happy saying he could do it. The school keep throwing it back at me that it would be a disservice to send him to special day because he would feel stupid. I am trieng to find a sollution so if you have any ideas please comment. Thanks.
