I am totally convinced that our cat, Princess, knows I have hearing loss.

How would you like to have a hearing aid implanted in your molar?

Lately there’s been an uproar in the DHH community about the availability of captioned movies, particularly those coming out from Netflix.
There are at least two search engines that will help you find captioned first-run movies in local theaters.
