Child abuse? Oh my god, that's awful for anyone to say! I became deaf in one ear at 17 and the rest recently. My kids are now learning sign language. They're sweet ☺

I'm looking forward to watching this! The way the phrase "child abuse" is thrown around is rediculous. I've heard that it's child abuse not to automatically choose an implant for my Deaf daughter. That because she's being raised in a hearing family, she needs to hear to be like the rest of us. People have zero understanding. I'm hoping that you'll cover this topic in Deaf Out Loud so that more of the world can understand and know what it's like from a Deaf persons perspective. It's as if people believe that because we're hearing, we don't have the right to choose that she not be bothered with implants, but because we're hearing we MUST choose that she has some way of hearing. Regardless of the fact that she's content Deaf and we're happy with her the way she is. We are fine if she makes the decision on her own in life, but as of now we use ASL and that's that.

I didn’t know Ivy was hearing!

[@southerncowgirl3911]

CHILD ABUSE?!? Excuse me? So how is being different abuse? Embrace who you are not what you are. People need to have more compassion and need to try to have understanding in ALL aspects of life.

We are dis-abled from making doctor's appointments, apparently. Even ENT's don't do e-mail or text. unless you have a hearing person you trust to make a phone appointment for you, you just are out of luck.

I subscribed to your page!

Hi Sheena I was wondering about Deaf Out loud is it just the one episode we will be seeing? Is it a 3 part series? Or is it hopefully an ongoing show? I am excited you and Manny decided to make this show. Shay and Ivy are so precious. I love watching them on ASL NOOK. Thank you for your videos!!! Have a great day?
