Wirelessly posted I couple of months ago I watched a great talk on TED.com about a great new education model called the Kahn Academy. Millions are now using it to learn and they are even starting to use it in schools. Anyway since then I've been watching their videos and using their...

I use my personal audio cable quite a bit. But mine stopped working. To be honest I really can't afford to pay $150 for a length of wire right now that they charge for them at the cochlear online store. And insurance doesn't cover it. I'm willing to pay for one. But just trying to get the...

I hope this is the right section to post this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtKTcPq7XBs

Wirelessly posted I recently learned something about Netflix streaming videos that could be great if they fixed it. Believe it or not it's possible to add your own subtitles (such as subtitles you can download from sites like subscribe.com) to the streaming videos on Netflix. But there's a...

Wirelessly posted I was contacted by an app developer to beta test his app for subtitles. He asked my opinion and for any suggestions I might have. Over the past couple of months we've been talking and he tests out every suggestion I make and sends me the new updated app to test out. ...

I found the Google Translate app (On iphone and Andriod) to be a helpful tool at times. What you do is you set both languages to English. That way when someone speaks into it it'll turn it into Bold Text when the phone is turned sideways. For example your friend says something to you and you...

Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've posted on here. No reason other then just life happening. But I've been working on something and I thought I'd share it with you all to see what you think. I'm about to give my first seminar on this in a couple of weeks. Just a small one for employees...

Wirelessly posted I was surprised to find out that Netflix instantly watch now shows subtitles on my iPhone app now. I didn't see any mention of them adding that. Last app update didn't even mention that they added subtitle to mobile view of Netflix. But its now there. If you have the app...

I found something that's been very helpful for me. So I thought I'd pass it along. First let me tell you the kinds of situations I'm finding this helpful. I watch a lot of TV shows and movies on my computer. I have a Personal Audio Cable for my N5 but you're not suppose to plug this into...

They finally added a way to find the movies and TV episodes at netflix that have subtitles. Go here to find them! http://movies.netflix.com/Subtitles?vt=tg&st=tt&pn=1&sub=l_en&ftr=false&so=0 It's about time!!! Ron Jaxon

This is is just something I'm curious about. Just so you know I do have a CI (N5). I'm wondering if it's possible for the Implant (Internal part) to pick up any kind of signal that would cause the us to hear something without the sound processor. Even if it's just a buzz sound or something like...

I figured I'd share this with you all. Maybe some of you will find it interesting. First let me explain what this is. As some of you know. I'm a magician. I started in magic at about the same time of my life that my hearing decreased to deafness. Last year I got my CI activate. This is a video...

I did a search and didn't find any mention of this yet. I just found out about it myself so I thought I'd share. Many of TED.com videos now have subtitles. I haven't found one yet that doesn't but they don't claim that they all are. It's not all that obvious to find. There's no "CC" or...

I've got a couple of apps on my iPhone that use audio to identify things. For example an app called Shazam can listen to music and tell you what song it hears playing, what artist sang it, the lyrics and all kinds of other information about the song. Another app called intonow works the same way...

I wanted to share this with you all. Not only because this is a great and interesting book. But also for the fact that I'm honored to be one of the many deaf magicians that's in this book. It contains the biographies of deaf magicians all the way back to the 19th century. There's more history in...

I was out at a bar where I go to play pool one night. At one of the tables was a group of people that I knew. I didn't know them all that well. Just regulars at a place I'm a regular so I don't know them all that well. Just known them a long time. Anyway on this night there was a cake and...

For those of you who don't have a CI or are considering getting one. You should know that it's not something that's going to happen over night. When the CI is activated it won't be turned up all the way right off the bat. You'll go in for a serious of mappings to adjust the settings a little...

A couple of years ago I posted in this forum that I had an idea that might, would've I'm still pretty sure it still would solve the captioning in theaters problem. The problem I'm referring to is the main reason so many theaters don't have subtitles or CC in their theaters. And that's the matter...

There are so many opinions on Cochlear implants. I think it's important to separate the facts from the non-experienced opinions. By that I mean you can browse the internet and research about Cochlear implants and most of what you'll read are written by people who have no personal experience with...

I was just surfing around and stumbled upon this. deafgoogle.com From what I can tell if you use this google search it'll search for things related to your search and "deaf". For example I did a search for iPhone and found links that have to do with iPhone and deaf. I just found it so I'm...
