I am deaf, but am on the east coast. You can try the local deaf club(s) or nonprofit service providers in your area that cater to people with hearing loss. If you are interested in more info, PM me so I can google and see what I can find in your area. Phoenix and Tucson are big enough cities to have resources of its own in the area of deafness and hearing loss.

I have severe nerve deafness but I can hear with hearing aids--can't hear very well at all without them. I never learned sign language but always wish I had.

WOW! mojoe, we are in the same boat! My hearing losss was the result of coming down with German (ruebella) measles at the age of 4 when my temperture went too high and destroyed much of the nerves in the ears- 80/90% loss. I too, wish I had learned sign language.

My hearing loss was also caused by a high fever as a child--in my case it was rheumatic fever. I have been deaf for as long as I can remember. I had a surgery when I was ten to remove some of the scar tissue that was threatening to make me completely deaf. I was told for many years that a hearing aid would do me no good. I was in my thirties when I met a hearing aid salesman who tested me and told me he thought they had a hearing aid that would work for me. The first time I tried it out and could hear was one of the most amazing days of my life. I walked down the street with tears of joy streaming down my face. I remember being amazed at how noisy the world is!
Does a hearing aid work for you? I wear mine all the time now, except for when I'm sleeping.

I once jumped in a lake with my hearing aid on-- forgot I was wearing it. I couldn't believe it that it still worked after it dried out.

ive been learning sign language from my boyfriend and his brother, and at our home we try use sign language as much as possible. basically they're throwing me in the pool and forcing me to learn how to swim.

it's such a beautiful language and I'm loving it so much, and it's brought me so much closer to the guy that I love.

Also here's a question that I dont mean to offend anyone. When my boyfriend talks he sounds like he has an accent from a foreign country. Some of his deaf friends who speak have this same sounding accent. What is it that makes them sound the same? They attended different schools when growing up.
 
I could probably see myself going deaf soon enough *turns up music*
