show me where any of us said "if your deaf, you cant do anything". if you read all over again, your reading it all wrong, like i said, just exactly what an extremist does. we said its a benefit to hear, we never said a deaf person cant do anything unless they get a CI/HH. your the only...

For your information, the implants from a couple years ago up to now have a removable tip. when the CI fails, they remove and reinsert and plug in the new tip and they are good to go. they will always be able to rely on what they grew up to rely on. it no longer happens in the way of which...

hmm i didnt read much of this thread, but i did notice your scheduled for may 24th. thats the day i was born, and i have a CI :)

yeah but those dont count as part of the cost of buying the car itself. those are the parts that i install for a living.

i work as a installation technician for LVMPD. basicly i build the police cars (electronics aspects). the police intercepters are cheaper than the standard versions that you would find on the street. the reason is 1) fleet vehicles - gives us a very good deal to buy bulk 2) less...

holy cow...i think i just become dumber after reading your reply! :crazy: first of all, no, you have NEVER had your car tested. If you did, you would have known what a dyno is and it tells you exactly how much power you have. second of all, a vtec controller and fuel injection controller...

i thought everyone allready knew about that risk, i knew about it quiet a few years ago and got another shot. (bout 4 years ago).

mld4ds...to be honest with you i think your still at fault. your attitude here seems to reflect what your actions could be in the real world. basicly your attitude is that because you have a perfect record...you should be allowed to have this ticket waived as well. also that because...

if he didnt flash his lights on you then how did you know you were supposed to pull over :dunno: and if you cant see the flashing lights and strobes from a SUV behind your butt, then you might want to get your eyesight checked. you were either not paying attention, which could have...

vfr....since you seem to act like you know so much about cars and motorcycles... then even you, if you had any common sense at all, would know that you CAN NOT compair a bike to a car. everybody with common sense knows a bike is faster....thats like.."DUH!". do you really think we are...

my deafness has never been a problem. the only case that a problem arised was being a police officer or joining the marines. but thats expected anyway. as for actual jobs, ive never been pushed back or passed over for promotions or anything. i work at the home depot as an hardware...

I voted that my parents made the decision and it was a good decision. I also agree with most of what sr171soars has said. The words from sr171soars could not have come out of my mouth any better. In my opinion, the discussion ends with one fact: the ratio of hearing to deaf/HH is...

you'll get much better hearing if you use both teh CI and hearing aid at the same time. i have been encouraged to use my CI and hearing aid but i hated my hearing aid because the molding would bother me so i never wore it.

I've had a CI since i was 6....I dont know what i'd be doing in life without it. I love it and would never want to continue my life without it. As for your brother..., that doesnt mean he is against the deaf, that just means he wants to socialize with voice instead of signing. But if he comes...

i spend more money in batteries for my CI in 90 days than it would cost to buy teh songbird......thats not a bad price at all.

its different because none of you are taking into account a lot of things clarion or cochlear? what year? new or old? nucleus 22? 24? freedom? like mine was 50,000 dollars, but this was in 1990 and it was with a nucleus 22. some of you are at 80,000 dollars but the year is 1998 and...

then you would have to complain to the person who is giving it out for free and let them know that someone is making money off their product. ebay is not responsible for it, its the company that gives it out for free. plus the company doesnt have to do anything, but they probably will tell...

as the first child in the state of nevada to get a cochlear implant (age 6), with the nucleus 22, it cost around 50,000 dollars. this was in 1990 the lions club paid for it.

i find this kind of funny. while i am deaf....I also have a cochlear implant, so i guess that makes me HoH? but anyway, you seem to be saying those who cant speak or communicate with the hearing community, are stupid and dont understand you because they are too dumb to do so. let me...

i was born hearing....lost my hearing through menengitis at age of 4....i have a CI now. I have 2 jobs, one of them is a home depot associate where i communicate verbally with customers non-stop constantly. the CI works great for me. ive also got friends who were born deaf and they have...
