Well... His nephew will be my nephew soon anyways. He is 11 years old now. I met him when he was 6 years old. He didn't know the sign language. Nobody tell him about sign language. He was being bad boy and trouble at school. Because the kids made fun of his hearing problem. My husband found it out his neighbor is hoh and teacher. She let him to borrow sign language book. He tried to help his nephew to learn sign language. But he is being shy and stubborn. He didn't want to lose his hearing. He have a pressure in his ear. His left is 100 percent deaf and other right ear is 80 percent deaf. He can speak very well. I am teaching him how to sign language. He is still learning sign language.
Yeah, My husband didn't like to speak in public. He is scare to stutter. He prefer speak in his family and circle friends instead of public.

A lot of the "comprehension" that we hoh folks get with has/CIs, tends to be as a result of people enunciating carefully. Not everyone has a really good "public speaker" voice.
