I'm only hearing impaired, with ridiculously expensive hearing aids. Fortunately I had an employer with an insurance plan that covered them. I no longer do. Eh.
I'm an ASL student at MCC in Mesa, AZ. I find languages fascinating in general, I travel a lot on personal trips. I've often wondered if there'd ever be a market for translators between different national sign languages, or for ASL tour guides leading deaf Americans overseas. Even if so, that's a bit off in the distance as I'm only completing Sign Language 101 right now.
Pity there's not a way we can easily sign here - I would love the repetitive practice with another patient signer. There aren't a lot of regular options where I live.
