The community I have created on my Instagram, the connections I’ve made, and the community I am in through For The Deaf Girl never would have happened if I didn’t go through what I did.

I have come to accept and embrace my hearing loss, but I am also more than my diagnosis. I am a writer, a friend, a survivor, a farmer, a creative person, a member of the LGBTQ community.

Having to navigate something so big at an age so young was difficult, and I am so proud of you. You have opened people’s eyes to the world of hearing loss, and shown persistence through everything.

We have a long, rough journey ahead of us but, every moment we have in our life is just a special lesson to us.

I am profoundly deaf and wear a cochlear implant on my right ear. I am excited to share my journey with you.

Most days I’m just your average 31-year-old SAHM… I’m in the midst of navigating being newly DHH as well as a few other medical diagnoses but most days I would say I’m just happy to be here.

In 2016 I was diagnosed with Otosclerosis…. I’m now on a mission to spread awareness, create conversations, and end the stigma surrounding hearing loss and hearing aids.

Hi! My name is Jess but some people call me Bambi. I lost my hearing 2.5 years ago and have bilateral moderately severe hearing loss. I hope you’ll stay along for the ride!

We believe in the power of visualizing a better and more inclusive future, and a tangible reminder helps us go back and focus on what our practical goals were for that season of life.

I was excited to hear things I hadn’t before… now I’m unsure if I like wearing it. I feel like it assists hearing people more than dDeaf or Hard of Hearing people.

Hey everyone! I’m Tiffany, my hearing loss journey has been a weird one for sure—but let me take you along for the ride.

I’m profoundly deaf and a bilateral cochlear implant user… I frequently use spoken English and [ASL] throughout my life to communicate with Deaf/hard-of-hearing and hearing individuals.

Hey friends! My name is Ryien, I’m legally Hard of Hearing. My hearing journey has been quite a whirlwind—but let me take you along.

Welcome to For The Deaf Girl. Whether you’re d/Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or curious about the wonderful world we deaf women experience, we are so glad you are here!
