    VRS in competition!

    First of all - allow me to say a few things - I think we as deaf individuals should purchase the video phones. There are too many individuals with a variety of video phones out there - and when you use a specific phone it is directly connected to use their particular vrs. Now if we were to...

    Article : vocabulary growth in toddlers

    Actually it is very revelant to the CI forums because we always discuss how language acquisition with CI can affect a child. Whether there are any pros or cons in waiting or having the child implanted earlier. So - I do find this revelant in the CI forum.

    Why my wife and I want our children to hear and speak a little.

    To Implant or Not to Implant? That is my question . . .

    Every audiologist, physician I have come across all tell me the same thing - it is NOT a cure but it will enhance and help our lives. They tell me over and over I will never hear like a normal hearing person but I will hear MORE than I could with a hearing aid. And up to this point, I agree...

    Why my wife and I want our children to hear and speak a little.

    Actually I work in the IT industry - its simple you don't keep up with technology you WILL find your way out the door. This is why it is essential to keep up with technology and your field. Don't assume what you know will be enough - you have to keep on learning otherwise you will end up...

    To Implant or Not to Implant? That is my question . . .

    That is bizarre you might want to get a second opinion - because I had a 90 db on one of my ear (which i got implanted) and was qualified. But you might want to shop around and see what you can find.

    A deaf girl aged 7 dies by cochlear implant.

    Parents should always investigate all areas and always get first and second opinions. But the same time I would always check for my child what my options are and look for people who had the procedure done to see what I need to do as well. The Medical Community at times also "ASSUMES" that the...
