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.

Dear Gianna, An Open Letter.
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.
Dear Danielle, An Open Letter.
We have a long, rough journey ahead of us but, every moment we have in our life is just a special lesson to us.
Meet Kimberly.
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.
Meet April.
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.
Meet Jess.
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!
For The Deaf Girl Vision Board Night
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.
Meet Maddie.
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.
Meet Tiffany.
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.
Meet Grace.
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.
Meet Ryien.
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.
