Sign language matchbooks?  Yes, indeed, and call it art!

From Adam.

One of the burdens of being a Deaf Person is that interminable trip to the Audiologist.  It usually goes something like this:

1. Head to the Audiologist’s office.
2. Enter and talk to the secretary that knows no sign, and fall back on the Writing of the Paper
3. Have a seat and wait for the Audiologist
4. Audiologist comes out and greets you with a smile.  Half of the time, also with sign language.  The other half not, but in an unafraid and understanding voice communication.  Fall back on the Writing of the Paper.
5. Feel the heavenly squish of the earmold silicone as it squooshes in your ear.
6. Discuss the latest advances in hearing aid technology, with an emphasis on super power hearing aids.   Nevermind; I wish.
7. Wait for 5 minutes until the silicone becomes hard.
8. Receive cleaned hearing aids back with admonition to be careful with them.  Optional:  Request that hearing aids be fixed, if needed.
9. Haltingly stop-go-start discuss payment/insurance with both the Audiologist and the Secretary.
10. Walk out with an extra spring in your step for having taken care of your Deaf Duty.

In two weeks (why does it take two weeks) I will have new ear molds!  Yay!  And at that time, I will Discuss with the Audiologist about getting my hearing aids fixed, because they are acting all Intermittent and Wonky.
