Hi everyone! Is your hearing with your CI good enough to speak on the phone? For me, at first wasn't easy, I couldn't understand a single word... But with lots of pacience and practice now I can hear every single word from the other person when I'm on the phone. I'm N5 CI user.

Congrats!!

I see... Well my doctor says that's the medical name for it..

Without my CI I have bilateral anacusis...

I was 20 years old now I'm 23

now you can see it!

oops! let me check!

Hi everyone! Here's my latest audiogram with my CI, I'm very happy with it. I wasn't born deaf so, for me this shows that I can hear so much better than it used to be before going deaf... Cheers...

It was hard for me to communicate with people when I was waiting for my CI activation... Because I didn't know ASL and I was getting used to my condition of being deaf. Of course the CI has so many benefits and my hearing it's not like it used to be, but it's awesome that I can hear again.

Hello everyone!! It's been so long since I've posted a thread here, I'm a CI user and I'm so happy with it; I wasn't born deaf and I lost my hearing about 3 years ago due a autoimmune disease... So, I'm back with a question for you: How the CI brings you closer to people in a world full...

Don't forget CI users are DEAF people too!! Of course we can hear with a CI and that's fine but the reality for us is that we depend on our processor battery life to hear and when the battery runs off we are completely DEAF again.

No, of course you don't have to get a CI to participate in the thread. The thing is deaf people who have CI (like me) can easily understand the point of view of another CI user than a person who doesn't have it....

jajajaja! yeap! I know!

Not at all! I make people to touch my head where the scar and titanium area :laugh2:

But in my case I reward my dog every time he does something like that... I totally, T-O-T-A-L-L-Y respect your opinion! :thumb:

I'm so agree with you! see my post #79

I understand were you coming from, ok? But I assure you there are people who has hearing dogs and don't feel inferior at all. For me, it's a state of mind. For example I'm deaf and my husband is in a wheelchair; he was shot in an attempt of robbery and that circumstance let him paraplegic he...

I don't consider myself disabled, but the reality for me is I can't hear without my CI... And I'm fine with my condition of being deaf. It's really great that you're an independent person and don't need any service dog or a visual alarm system and I respect you for that. Nobody's telling you...
