Hi, I no longer wish to post in this forum. If I could be de-registered I would very much appreciate it. I wasn't sure which moderator does this sort of thing so I have posted my request here. Thanks a lot :)

Hi there, We had a CI moments thread that was a sticky on top of the CI and hearing aids forum. It was an active thread but seems at this exact moment in time to have completely disappeared! Is this temporary or just some blip?

Hi Flip, You suggested I started a new thread to continue the discussion from Skullchick's thread here AllDeaf.com - View Single Post - What is it so bad about CI?. I don't dispute that Moses was probably slow of speech either due to lack of confidence or to an impediment, I'm not sure...

There are people who can hear spiders walk? :eek3: Is that even possible?

Hi all, Anyone read this yet? It's by a deaf guy who goes to Africa as part of the peace corps. I just ordered it! I love travel books anyway, but one with a deaf person in it I just have to read. Apparently, he went to Gallaudet after Yale and to Africa from there. He also got a CI...

For Americans only (sigh!) Apparently, there is a TV drama on ABC channel during September, over a few nights, featuring a cochlear implant storyline involving a toddler who suddenly loses his hearing in (yes you've guessed it) a car crash. Apparently they are using deaf actors and actresses...

I found this the other day (I'm a research study junkie) and I thought the parents would be especially interested to read this. It was done by the National Deaf Childrens Society in the UK, which is a well thought of organisation there. 29 teenagers were interviewed and they were implanted as...

Hi all, This is where folks can put their CI surgery and switch on dates so that we can keep track of everyone and give support. :grouphug: :gossip: I will ask Alex if we can make it a sticky but if not we can just keep bumping it up. Good luck everyone! :fingersx:

About deaf adults' decisions to get a cochlear implant or not and about their perception about the impact on deaf culture. Unfortunately you have to enter in a few details about yourself to get to the story but it's worth it. After 42 years, woman hears for first time

Hi RR, Would it be possible to have this post here made into a sticky in the hearing aid and cochlear implant forum? I've had so much feedback both on the board and privately from people saying that it was a very easy to understand presentation on how CIs work. I was a bit reluctant to...

I was looking for some crash course links for my husband on how CIs actually work (yeah I know - he's slack!) and found this. Check it out - it's really cool and in animated slides. Click here Click on the "forward" button to get it started. It shows how the undamaged ear works, what...

Hi Mods, Could I request that we have this thread here made into a sticky for the Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants board? I think it is a very perceptive article that explores all the issues and would be handy for parents and anyone else interested in implants visiting the board.
