    I'm deaf. In fact, with deafness it's all about the depth.
    The level on my left ear is severe (I lost hearing between 70 and 90 dB) and on my right ear, it's medium (between 40 and 70 dB).
    Because the level on my right ear is actually close to 70 dB, I could say the loss on both ears are severe. So yeah.. It's quite deep.

    To help you to understand :

    Loss of 20-40 dB: slight deafness. 40dB represents the volume of a normal conversation.

    Loss 40 to 70dB: Medium Deafness. 60 dB is the sound level of a lively conversation.

    Loss 70 to 90dB: severe deafness. 80 dB is the loudness of a busy street.

    Greater than 90dB loss: profound deafness. 100 dB is the sound of a jackhammer ; 120dB that of a jet engine 10 meters.

    Beyond a loss of 120 dB, it's total deafness.

    Wish I could go, but I'm flying out to see my cousin next summer to make our first silicone tails together, so I have to pinch every penny I can. I wish you the best merfestivities!

    How do we sign up to volunteer for events? I want to attend the breath holding class, else I am free. I already mentioned volunteering to watch the kids on Saturday during the dance and defiantly want to be in the water for the kids cove. After that I love to help out.

    Chat fish , we spoke already thanks for messaging me.

    As for everything else - the gala is at half capacity. If you only buy one ticket and wait for another pay check get your gala tix first.


    If it over sells we have to rent more space in the venue more catering more furniture and that could affect cost. Get your MerSquerade tickets now

    If it is sold out send me a message on the MerMania group page on FB. Thanks all.

    I am seriously considering attending this lovely event. I've had a rough year, and I kinda deserve a treat! (Especially since my little dog's surgery is making me miss FaerieCon. )

    A few questions:

    • Will we have access to the Aquarium exhibits during the Mersquerade? Due to my mind boggling dietary restrictions, I'm pretty sure I couldn't eat the dinner, but I would be happy as a clam looking at all the fishies and then attending the dance.

    • Is parking pretty easy for the various MerMania venues?

    • Will there be any open mic musical opportunities along with or in addition to karaoke? I'd enjoying singing one or two of my original Neptune's Keep songs.

    • If the initial Mersquerade quota sells out, will you be able to rent additional space to accommodate those registering later?

    Thanks!

    Absolutely! You can get photos by the 90,000 gallon Shark Reef exhibit, pet the stingrays in the touch tank, get close with otters, penguins, fishing cats, and more!

    • Is parking pretty easy for the various MerMania venues?
    There is parking aplenty at the Greensboro Aquatic Center, Carolina SciQuarium, and the Sheraton Greensboro.

    • Will there be any open mic musical opportunities along with or in addition to karaoke? I'd enjoying singing one or two of my original Neptune's Keep songs.
    I'll ask the DJs but I'm betting it's a distinct possibility! I have my own lyrics for "Under the Sea" that I want to try out!

    • If the initial Mersquerade quota sells out, will you be able to rent additional space to accommodate those registering later?
    There will be plenty of room for all!
