Hi Angel if it is done right kids do not need to spend hours in therapy. The most my kids would go see the therapist was 2 hours a week. I would be in there with them and learned from the therapist and incoportated what I learned into our daily life.

YES, they can due their good willing.

Could you explain then how they can repeat the sound if they can't hear this sound?

Quote:

YES, they can... I withnessed in real life because they are my friends... I thought all the time that they are HOH but really is they are DEAF without HA. They can hear background and can speak on the phone

I am deaf without HA. If your friends are deaf without HA they for sure can not talk on the phone like a normal person.

Quote:

Jillo I remember a comment you made about how my son needs to have older deaf people for social reasons. He does, my daughter has male friends that range from 2 to 5 years older then my son

I remeber you writing a day or two or even more about your children signing - your daughter does that better than your son, right?. obviously they have deaf friends.
But this forum has some peculiar trait - it's called selective reading. They only read what they want to see, even something that wasn't there.

No, no kissing. Simply stating the obvious. If you don't want people to believe you are angry and bitter, stop acting angry and bitter. Very simple.

How do you do it?

First of all, you are making an incorrect assumption. Secondly, by "normal" do you mean hearing?

You are right. I don't know their medical history, I don't know if they were born deaf or later deafened. I shouldn't have said that.
On the other hand, I have first hand experience as deaf HoH talking over the phone.

And yes, to me "talking like a normal person" means talking like a hearing person. what else can it be, used in this context?
And no, no matter how well the hearing impaired person is trained in hearing, it is impossible for a deaf or a (deaf with HAs hearing like HoH) to hear like a "normal" person. If they could, they would be "normal".
and since they can not hear like a normal person they can't talk on the phone like a normal person, something close like, yes, but like normal person - no. unless you mean by "talk" - oral speaking.
Of course all that depends also on the lenght, and kind of conversation but we are not disccusing the minute details of this subject, justbthe general idea.

Whatever the deaf person hears is "normal" for them. You are attempting to define normality by a set of standards that a deaf person can never reach. To you, normal may mean hearing, just as many hearing define that as a situation of normality. But to the congenitally deaf child, the perception of sound certainly isn't perceived as normal. I find it very odd that you keep using these perceptions of normal that you, yourself, as an HOH person, can never actually subsribe to, nor have you ever been able to subscribe to them.
Do you consider everyone that is not fully hearing to be abnormal? Normal is a very subjective term. It changes according to the indiviudal, the culture, and the circumstance. And your experience of talking on the phone is your experience, and therefore normal for you. However, it in no way relects the experience of every other HOH person, and therefore cannot be used as a standard to describe what is normal.

In addition, hearing does not imply normality, only majority.

It develops to hear, not language and speak skill. It's parent's job to feed langauge and speech skill to expose their children.

Simple answer is:

Without parent's help/support, they don't know what sound is about until they found out themselves later.

Did you know that toddlers ask the parents many questions like that... what's that, what's this, etc... It's parent's responsible to expose them to know what it's about.. .what is this... It belongs parental's patience and support to feed positive thing into toddler's brain...

Example: I remember my son when he was a little boy... I open the window at friendly sunny morning... Sussi, my cat is unpatience and watch something from the window... She did like that for years... I know it's bird singing... My son were like

and stare at window... "what is this"... I can't hear but I knew straight way with the help from my cat that it's bird singing... I told him that it's bird singing... he was like wow...

Without parent's help, they would not know what bird singing sounds... Just hear yes... but don't know what it is ...

Remember each person is different. You as HA user feel that you don't hear normal but other HA user see different as you and consider it's normal as hearing...

Simple answer:

For blind, hearing, deaf, or any disabilty people, without parent's feed into their brain, they would know nothing what the color alike, just smell, feeling and hear shape... but what? what? They need parent's feed into their brain to tell them what it is about... and what's color... what sounds... until they are familiar...

Of course I pointed my finger to birds and anything to my children... I thought we talked about "hear" only...

Sweetmind · 10-01-2007, 08:01 AM

Hearing aid, Cochlear Implant, and other hearing devices ARE NO GOOD for anyone exspecially for Deaf children.

CI and HA are the biggest SCAM that doesnt make you hearing at all. It doenst make you able to hear everything that wastes of my time

FOR YOUR INFO, I can hear the bird singing in a quiet environment that s all there is to it. DUHIE! YOU LIES about us not able to hear HA device.

CI children is totally deaf because they have no RESIDUAL HEARING so therefore they are (D)eaf because they are totally deaf on both ears. SO THERE! DONT LIE about us and our deafness anymore.

Hearing/Deaf oralism with a very negative audist attitude parents are too much ignorant and dont understand what s it like to be deaf itself. Scoffs!

HA and CI are the same behavioral patterns as is. DONT TELL ME I am wrong. MIND YOU!

Hearing Assessment

If the "X' s" and "O' s" all fall in the -10dB to 15 dB range, your hearing lies in the normal range.

If your son is able to communicate with Deaf of Deaf, chances are his ASL skills are very strong. Perhaps you assess them as being weak because he uses a correct ASL syntax rather than a PSE syntax.

It's okay for them to TRY and HELP a deaf child to hear somethin', so that way a deaf child will get the idea of what the sounds are like that HEARIN' people hear everyday. There's nothin' wrong with it. BUT, I do want to see the hearin' people/parents to LEARN sign language/ASL, not just hearin' the sounds.

CI and HA are the biggest SCAM that doesnt make you hearing at all. It doenst make you able to hear everything that wastes of my time.

You don't need to worry about that. It's why we have this CI forum to discuss and let the hearin' parents/people to know what " deaf " ADers feel and what their experiences are without HAs/CI. They will share it in here.

FOR YOUR INFO, I can hear the bird singing in a quiet environment that s all there is to it. DUHIE! YOU LIES about us not able to hear HA device.

Huh ? Every ADer is NOT Sweetmind. Okay ? Every ADer is different.

CI children is totally deaf because they have no RESIDUAL HEARING so therefore they are (D)eaf because they are totally deaf on both ears. SO THERE! DONT LIE about us and our deafness anymore.

I really wish there are some moderators here who could share their experiences here, because they speak fluently with their HAs. I will let them to say their pieces here.

Hearing/Deaf oralism with a very negative audist attitude parents are too much ignorant and dont understand what s it like to be deaf itself. Scoffs!

I believe they do understand. They read and learn somethin' from these CI threads. They will accept what is necessary and make an amend for the sake of a deaf child. It takes time.

HA and CI are the same behavioral patterns as is. DONT TELL ME I am wrong. MIND YOU!

Why are u against using HAs or CIs? Many CI posters herre have stated that thier CIs help them a lot better than HAs. Not promoting CIs for everyone because it wont work for everyone but for those it does work, it makes a difference. Doesnt mean that they are no longer deaf but just deaf with a hearing device.

There are many Deaf ADers here that stated that they do not live anywhere close to a Deaf community so they are around hearing people only so I would give them the support to get HAs or CIs to help them. I need my HAs to communicate with hearing people even thought it is not 100% perfect but better than nothing.

That doesnt mean I am hearing and dont need ASL. I very much need and very much value ASL but I know that I still have to participate in the Hearing world too. It is unrealistic to completely isolate ourselves from the Hearing world so some poeople want HAs or CIs to help them with that.

My only beef is the denial of sign language to young deaf children...the rest, I am supportive of.

I know u have had a frustrating childhood and so did I but it is not healthy to hold onto that anger. I realized it is not worth it and it doesnt accomplish anything for me.

Since you are such an expert on children with cochlear implants and the speech and language therapy they receive, how many hours a week did my daughter recieve? Oh yea, and break it down by age.

No, I could not give a flying hoot whether you hear or not. I am concerned about my daughter and glad that we gave her the opportunity to hear and to speak.

CI and HA are the biggest SCAM that doesnt make you hearing at all. It doenst make you able to hear everything that wastes of my time FOR YOUR INFO, I can hear the bird singing in a quiet environment that s all there is to it. DUHIE! YOU LIES about us not able to hear HA device. CI children is totally deaf because they have no RESIDUAL HEARING so therefore they are (D)eaf because they are totally deaf on both ears. SO THERE! DONT LIE about us and our deafness anymore. Hearing/Deaf oralism with a very negative audist attitude parents are too much ignorant and dont understand what s it like to be deaf itself. Scoffs! HA and CI are the same behavioral patterns as is. DONT TELL ME I am wrong.

jillio Banned Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 60,296	[QUOTE=Audiofuzzy;845508]Could you explain then how they can repeat the sound if they can't hear this sound? How do you do it? I am deaf without HA. If your friends are deaf without HA they for sure can not talk on the phone like a normal person. First of all, you are making an incorrect assumption. Secondly, by "normal" do you mean hearing? I remeber you writing a day or two or even more about your children signing - your daughter does that better than your son, right?. obviously they have deaf friends. But this forum has some peculiar trait - it's called selective reading. They only read what they want to see, even something that wasn't there. You are making a comment on a conversation that jackie and I had, and you are exhibiting a complete lack of comprehension of the progression of that conversation. That is selective reading, fuzzy.
