Sam loses his hearing in an accident while at Stanford.

Re: Deaf Sam chaigrl2786 February 22 2011, 19:56:08 UTC

This is a great idea. I would love for someone to write it. For some reason, I don't think Sam loosing his hearing would stop him in accomplishing his goals. LOL.

PLEASE WRITE THIS SOMEONE. PLEASE?

Re: Deaf Sam jennytork February 22 2011, 19:57:15 UTC

Yes, but can you imagine the shock to Dean when he realises it??

Re: Deaf Sam chaigrl2786 February 22 2011, 20:39:23 UTC

It would be a shock! I hope I get to read something soon. LOL.

Am currently pondering this plot bunny. It would probably involve Sam in his freshman year at Stanford, contracting bacterial meningitis. Not!possessed!Brady may or may not be included. Though, warning: This is my first foray into fanfic writing and it may turn out to be epic.

Re: Deaf Sam chaigrl2786 March 4 2011, 14:43:00 UTC

Your idea sounds awesome and "Epic" sounds even more awesome!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Take care and Happy Writing!

Sorry, no beta. Enjoy!

It all started with the flu. Or rather, it seemed like it was the flu, so Sam didn’t pay much attention at all. Yeah, there was the requisite fever, but feeling crappy after pulling an all-nighter for term papers was normal, wasn’t it? This was what he’d been striving for; term papers and midterms, clubs and community service, safety instead of seeking out an early death by vengeful spirit or some other supernatural creature. So as he lay in bed, curled up in his dorm room with lights off and blinds closed, Sam took comfort that he was at Stanford and not in the middle of a hunt, digging up some angry ghost’s grave, while he ignored the pangs of wishing that Dean was there to take care of him like always.

Not three hours later, Sam’s roommate Tyson Brady crashed through the door, turned on the lights, and noisily began to dig through the mini-fridge.

“Hey, man, Professor Bergman’s midterm was hella easy. I was actually kinda shocked at ( ... )

The following time he woke up, Brady was there. His lips moved and his body slumped in relief, but no words were coming out of his mouth. “What?” Sam asked, but instead of hearing the word, he felt it in his throat. He whipped his head around and noticed the monitors that should have been beeping and the nurses’ station in front of his room where the low mumble of conversation should have drifted in. By the time he looked back at Brady, Brady’s eyes had widened and he started moving his lips faster ( ... )

Love it! Poor Sammy! Can't wait for part 3!!

Re: Filled: Deaf!Sam at Stanford (2/?) jennytork March 6 2011, 20:18:27 UTC

Thanks!

Re: Filled: Deaf!Sam at Stanford (2/?) jennytork March 6 2011, 13:13:42 UTC

This was a beautiful thing to wake up to this morning.

Can't wait to see more!!

Re: Filled: Deaf!Sam at Stanford (2/?) jennytork March 6 2011, 20:18:59 UTC

Thanks!

Has anyone told Sam about how colleges are obligated to help out students with disabilities? There's a deaf student in one of my classes and she's accompanied by someone provided by the college who translates the lectures and discussions into ASL for her.

Re: Filled: Deaf!Sam at Stanford (2/?) jennytork March 6 2011, 20:20:43 UTC

Yeah, I'm getting to that. These are just his thoughts right now. Though, if you find any inconsistencies, feel free to point them out. It's not as though I have any experience about this IRL.

As he was discharged from the hospital, his deafness became a disadvantage to be worked around. From information gathered surfing the Internet and discussing his new problems with his new disability to the Office of Accessible Education and on online forums for deaf and hard of hearing people. He learned about making lectures accessible with something called stenocaptioning, which uses a stenographer to capture whatever was being said and display a translated text on a display screen, and relied heavily upon text messaging on his cell phone. Brady helped out by writing down any messages for him from the answering machine and all of his friends knew to stop calling and texted or IM-ed him instead. He looked up beginner ASL classes to join and whether he should buy a TTY ( ... )
