#hardofhearing — Public Fediverse posts

Me after seeing the price the hearing aids I'll need since my area doesn't have the "Free NHS Hearing Aids" assistance, so I need to save up to £3,000 despite the fact groceries put me in my overdraft this month:
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

🩵 Looking for members of the d/Deaf community and those who identify as hard of hearing. Do you have a few minutes today to help a writer and photographer?

For an article, I would like to ensure I am using appropriate and inclusive wordage and reaching out to the community!

It is only a few sentences; I would really like to run this text by someone to ensure it reads ok :)

Post will go live tonight, 8pm UK 6pm EST. Thanks for your time!

SBS On Demand has streaming content in Auslan (I haven't watched any of it yet)

Hi #deaf and #HardOfHearing community and everybody else who speaks a #signLanguage, I have a #writing question for you:
For a character who uses both sign and verbal language how would you prefer to see conversation (partially) in sign being handled? Specifically for continued conversations with multiple exchanges where one can apply a general rule; for one-liners, exclamations and such it's of course a case-by-case decision. Thanks :blobcatheart:

:boosts_appreciated:

Someone please explain to me why you can't email the hearing aid provider and have to call them....

Soon, I will hold a webinar about digital means for people who are #hardofhearing

Hey everyone! I want to let you know that the #LondonDrugs store in Rutherford Mall in #Nanaimo has an amazing #AntiAbleist #inclusive manager. My friend, Tessie, is a #DisabledEmployee there. The manager, Warren, went out of his way to help her feel supported at work. He made her a shirt & a sign for her workstation 👏

If you're on #VancouverIsland in the Nanaimo area, please support this specific store. Please let them know that the public appreciates how they treat their disabled employees & thank Warren for being a stellar, inclusive & thoughtful store #manager 👍

ok maybe i should give yall a proper intro on me #introduction

i'm alex, i'm a kitty ​:neocat:​ who moved from poland to netherlands (living in Utrecht as of now) in september 2024 kind of by force

i speak polish and english, as well as trying to learn dutch (with little to no results though)

at the time of writing this i am no longer a neet woohoo ​:jamming:​ i got a job

i usually draw things in my free time or endlessly scroll the internet for no reason. i collect plushies and keep them on my desk, as well as collect pokemon TCG cards.

i also gamed a lot, but nowadays i am trying to find motivation to boot up something else than osu from time to time

if i get the inspiration i work on static websites, most notably my personal site, dokokashira.nl (that needs to be updated asap because of how many outdated things there are

still morphing and trying to discover myself now that i have a proper environment to do so

i'm a trans gay guy and started my HRT on february 8 2025 ​:neocat_floof:​

i'm proudly disabled (HoH, AuDHD, C-PTSD, BPD et al) and i wish for a better world

where else to find me on fedi:
@kaaskop - art account
@alexander - private account for friends
@kaviaar - AD account, only for people i know that are 18+

also @nugget from time to time when i test something on wafrn

I've been evaluating Jellyfin as my #Kodi replacement - mainly b/c I don't like #Plex and wanted a server-centric model - but Jellyfin fails when it comes to the downloading and general-handling of closed-captions, so it's a hard pass 👎 for now

Q for #Deaf and #HardOfHearing folks who cannot listen to music or podcasts:
What are your methods for helping you to fall asleep? Are there other senses or activities you engage in order to prevent your mind from being busy?

Terveydenhuollon ammattilaiset katse tänne!

Sellainen pikkuinen pyyntö, et jos kohtaat vaikkapa polilla tai jossain missä oot hoitamassa kuulovammaista asiakasta niin otahan se suun edessä oleva maski pois kun puhut. 😷 👄

sometimes I wish it was possible to be like Hoshi Sato, just picking up entire languages in a couple days

I always watch stuff with subtitles bc I have some minor auditory processing issues¹

lately I've been watching a lot of dubbed² stuff³ and it's been really fascinating seeing the differences between the dubs and the subtitles meant as a translation for the original language

I mean, it's similar to the way subtitles meant for #Deaf and #HardOfHearing viewers are sometimes slightly off from what was said (which is an #accessibility issue)

#disability #AuditoryProcessingDisorder #linguistics

¹ it's worst over the phone, which is fun since that's my whole job, or if I otherwise can't see the person who's speaking, which sometimes happens in TV/movies
² I finished #Ranma12 and started #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo
³ or, in the case of #StopHibariKun, both an anime and a manga with fan translations by different people

Do you know any #HardofHearing #Deaf #DeafBlind #DeafDisabled folks from #BritishColumbia #Canada and would like to meet fellow deafies, reply to this or DM me.

I made a WhatsApp community for deaf folks to socialize, make friends, hangout, and get together to advocate!

It has subgroups based on region.

hello gamers, new #introduction - boost it also as means to expand federation of this new instance

i'm alex. of the same fame as on other instances.

i'm a disabled trans guy who fled to netherlands and now i am haunting the bureaucrats and locals with my existience. i am at least 20 years old. minors don't follow this account thanks.

i make art, can be seen on my website and soon on fedi if i finally migrate the art account too. which yes i am also implying i am a webmaster

i am currently obsessed with pokemon merchandise and love researching more niche merch that may be also region-exclusive

some stuff i make or made:

entralink; a webclique for fans of pokemon games but pre-switch feDistricts, a site directory for fedi folks and their websites nijntje, neobun, neocube and neoghost

all can be found on my website, https://dokokashira.nl/

before you follow me, read these:

• i may seem harsh but i'm not an evil meanie. just warding off evil spirits like a shrine maiden. i may actually like you
• i am autistic, hearing-impaired, and having a bad case of c-ptsd: these affect my worldview significantly
• i am not interested in fedimeta, or yankpol. matter of fact my instance rejects all posts mentioning yankpol by its actual name because frankly theres too much cool stuff in life for me to care about either
• i have opinions and if you disagree just fuck off instead of stalking, harassing me or making the next chapter of fedimeta
• sending reports to my instance means you are stupid and can't read (i'm the admin here what are you expecting)
• if you come into my mentions explaining something i didn't ask for, "erm ackshually"-ing my posts or frankly doing the gender-irrelevant variant of mansplaining i will nuke you even if you are gargron, dansup or literal god
• do not police my language, tone, or tell me to CW something unless you are my close friend.

#HearingLoss is challenging at the doctor's office https://bit.ly/4efyyYG
Hearing loss is invisible, but so are many other chronic conditions. People don’t always know we are struggling just by looking at us.
