Blog & Community ✦
Our blog and online community exists to connect d/Deaf & Hard of Hearing women with resources designed to help navigate the hearing world, as well as encourage each woman to explore her id/Deaf identity. Here you will find a collection of stories told by women from all ages and lifestyles, from all over the world.
While this space is catered to women with hearing loss, we encourage others to come & learn more about accessibility, hearing loss, & the beautiful, rich culture within the Deaf Community.
dDeafness as a beautiful spectrum, each individual uniquely experiencing life and hearing loss. While it doesn’t define us, it’s a core aspect of who we are, and how we view and interact with the world. Addressing this part of our story should be a personal and unique experience, bringing you closer to a sense of self-love and acceptance.
Our mentoring services are meant to connect you with resources designed to help navigate the hearing world and connect you with your dDeaf identity.

Meet Alli.
If there’s one thing that I love more than my bird and books, it’s sharing my story in the hopes that I could provide a sense of comfort and relief to someone going through hearing hardships alone. I’m Alli, 29, and profoundly deaf with a cochlear in the left side.
Meet Olivia.
Having that confidence is important because that is when you will realize you can do anything you want to do. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
Meet Kayla.
Since opening up more about my hearing and finding a new light in my acceptance, I’ve seen a change not only in my demeanor but of others.
Meet Lindy.
I love my hearing aids! They help me to hear. I do not like the stigma against being deaf/hard of hearing. Rather than hide our hearing aids, let’s celebrate them! Let’s adorn them with hearing aid earrings, let’s tell people we wear them. Let’s be proud to be who we are, with hearing aids!

Hi there! I’m Rayan, and I’m the proud owner of a pair of ears that came with a lifetime subscription to silence.

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.
Meet Sarah.
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.
