My daughter was married to a profoundly deaf guy for 4 years. He had a daughter that was deaf as well. My daughter is fluent in sign language.
He had a cochlear implant when he was 18, but the "extra" noise drove him nuts so he seldom wore it. Their wedding was awesome as it was done with both verbal and sign language. He did wear it to the wedding to please my daughter.
His daughter had her cochlear implant when she was small and adapted very well to it. She was 4 when my daughter married her dad.
Unfortunately, he liked to use my daughter as a punching bag, even going so far as to push her off their deck (up several feet from the ground) when she was pregnant as he didn't want another little brat (his words, not hers). She kind of agreed she didn't want a spoiled bully and brat as well and divorced him. Their daughter is precious, although he doesn't make any attempt to see her, I say good thing. She is the one I am holding in the pool!!

So is your hearing impaired now, 99? I admire you for learning a new language after so many years--we should ALL be as concientious.....signing is beautiful to watch. I've seen many musical presentations being signed and it's magical!

bayoulady said:Hi,I have that in common with ya! You see, my sister is completely deaf. She just turned 50 , and like me, she is a teacher. She teaches in Austin,TX at the state school for the deaf. She is extremely intelligent, graduating from LSU, Louisiana, and a master's degree from Galludet College for the deaf. I get so MAD when people use the term deaf and dumb...though I know they mean mute. Most deaf people are not mutes, however. She can read lips also, so when they make such stupid comments, she KNOWS, but keeps it to herself for her own amusement.
She signs in ASL, which is probably very similiar to your BSL. I think it is so graciously beautiful to watch ASL done to music.(Sign singing) Good luck,99 with learning the language and culture. I'm not so good with signing. I usually fingerspell most words, and she patiently waits for me to Spell-----each-------word----lol!
