I did not insult any group of people here, i got these facts from different posts here. I come here to the CI forum to discuss CI issues. I wanna thank alldeaf for opening my eyes and getting a taste of what the deaf culture would be like for my daughter...no thanks. I would never in a million...

Frank if more people spoke like you and explained things in a non biased manner just like you just did, there would not be any of these debates with hearing parents and the deaf culture. You expressed your feelings without sugar coating anything but did not in any way insult any parent in making...

My stats are not outdated nor are made up, i just learned of them last week. Just because you chose a different route with your son does not mean that other choices are wrong. You did what you felt was best for your son and so did i. You need to stop making assumptions about everyone elses kids...

First of all you were implanted older and thats why you did'nt learn to speak. Second of all i really don't care that sending my child to a deaf school would be cheaper. That has to be one of the most ridiculous excuses i've heard. My daughters implant was worth every cent that was spent on it...

Yea they do test them that young. They usually put them them in a sound proof room with speakers with lots of toys and games and 1 audi will be in one room with you and your child and another audi will be in another room testing the sounds at different megahertz to see what he will respond to...

Why should it matter which form of sign they are using as long as they are communicating with sign. The whole point is that they are able to communicate with another language other then oral. It's whatever works best for that child whether it be ASL, PSE or whatever. To nitpick about which form...

Just finished reading all the posts and it seems to be the same thing over and over again. First of all, naturally i'm going to be very active in the CI threads, i want to know about other parents with their dhh kids and their experiences with the CI.I am always checking out other topics but why...

I keep coming across these posts about how parents who implant their children are doing so to "fix" their child. I also keep reading about how so many people grew up miserable because they grew up oral and were teased and did'nt learn sign until later in life. I could see how that would be...

:gpost: As a parent of a deaf child, i agree with you 100%

Well that's you and your your opinion. Just because your exwife had a bad experience dosent mean everyone else will too. It's up to the parent to make a decision for their child, not anyone elses whether you like it or not. If this topic is what you call a prank, then you really need to get a...

I got an text message saying not to fill up your car on May 15th. I guess the word is going around that by not filling up for 1 day, the gas price will be forced to go down by at least 35cents on the next day. Spread the word!!!:fingersx:

I'm sure all that will happen to him in jail and will deserve every suffering moment of it.

Jillio, have you ever sat in on an AV lesson? I'm not sure but my guess is no. It's all about playing games and learning at the same time. It's not as cut throat as you think. Most of the time my daughter dos'ent want to leave when the hour is up. It is not forced by no means. To her it's...

Hearing people who compliment on how you speak is just that... a compliment. They don't mean it in any other way. You have to understand that most hearing people have no clue about the deaf culture and don't think that they are upsetting you. If they find out your deaf, many of them...

My daughter was diagnosed profoundly deaf with EVA at the age of 1. She did not have a hearing test done at birth so we don't know if it was a progressive loss or if she was deaf at birth. Usually EVA is a progressive loss so the child could of had hearing at birth, but we'll never know in my...

Thank you is the only other sign that i saw on that show.

Speaking as a parent of a deaf child with a ci, i can share her expeirences with you. In the beginning she did not like to listen to music, she did'nt like the radio on at all. Awhile after that she actually started enjoying it and became familiar with her favorite songs when they would come on...

Shel, do you or did you wear hearing aids growing up? Or do you rely on lip reading alone.

If you suspect that Victoria is looking for a reaction then probably the best thing t That is soooo true. I remember when Kayla would'nt get her way with something she would rip the coil off the cord and toss it. She wore a bodyworn Nucleus at the time and the coil and cable were two seperate...

Thanks guys. I chose her original processor and it was brown(to match her hair)and now that she's older i let her choose and i was surprised to see that she chose brown as well. I thought for sure that she would have picked the pink microphone protector, thats her favorite color! I think it had...
