    I'm so excited! Thanks to the information in this thread (specifically the link that diehardbiker posted to Mirial's site) I was able to get my Z4 to work. FINALLY. After so many years I can finally call my mom. Edit: It was working... now it's not :(

    Actual CI users in here please ...

    I am curious about this too. I've recently heard some things that I want to research. I will research information from the database at my college. If you'd like I will share some of my findings with you. It will take me a few days.

    What if Sign Languages is only done by a small percentages

    Hopefully people would create super-duper hearing aids and CIs that never ever break and that could simulate perfect hearing so that everyone would be "normal". They can even make hearing aids and CIs invisible. Then everyone can live happily ever after. (Unless someone found a way to fry all of...

    What if Sign Languages is only done by a small percentages

    This is one of those questions that can't be answered with just "yes" or "no". It depends. Some Deaf can rely on only hearing aids/CIs and some Deaf can't. There are too many factors to consider. Each person is different. I don't know how they would fare psychologically though.

    iPad

    Really? I was researching all of the different ebook readers and I learned about IPad today. I am excited about it :) Most ereaders use the eink technology, which displays the ebooks in black and white. But the IPad displays them in color. I want to download different ebook software to iPad but...

    ASL student looking for help...

    I can offer a tip: Don't try to do a word-by-word translation. The object isn't necessarily to translate it from English to ASL. It is more like translating it from hearing to Deaf. Take the concept of each verse and make it visual. ASL has the advantage of using 3D space and being beautifully...

    Question - Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing?

    Ah, sorry. I didn't write that correctly. It would be a very, very long post if I wrote all of the things that define Deaf culture. To answer your question, yes. Late-deafened people can be culturally Deaf. Of course most people use language as a determining factor to determine if you're...

    Question - Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing?

    There are differences between Deaf culture and the Deaf community. The Deaf community includes d/Deaf, HOH, late-deafened, oral, mainstream, residential, CI, etc. Deaf culture is typically used to refer to core-Deaf people. I'll see if I can find a link online that explains it all in-depth...

    Is speaking and listening hard work for hearing people?

    My mom is a lot different now. She is doing her best to make up for all the things she has done. I don't hold the past against her. I'll be going to visit her soon :) I want to help her on her English homework (she's taking college classes). Her professor is trying to use phonics to improve...

    Are you going to Deaf Nation World Expo?

    That's how I'm going :D I don't think I could afford it otherwise. The free room promotion ends this Friday (see the description for the video I put on Jason's page).

    Is speaking and listening hard work for hearing people?

    In this case she really was angry that I didn't wake up when the burglar came in. I think at the time she was just really frustrated. We were very poor. I have a friend who has a dog and a cat, and she's allergic to both :lol: The dog takes a shower at least once every 1-3 days. He loves...
