That is actually how I found my girlfriend on PlentyofFish. She's hearing and I'm deaf but she understands deaf culture and knows sign language.... Not fluently but enough to make life easier for me lol. 3 years strong as of May 3rd :D I think people can search based on shared interests

I'll be getting my first CI in February *happy dance* I will never understand why a hearing aid is never really covered and a CI usually is... other than it being a medical procedure, but aside from that I don't get it. Counting my lucky stars though! I do agree though that a CI is NOT a cure...

The only chat room I have found for a more sincere mature group online is from here: http://myhearingloss.org/ The only problem is it is only up on certain days and you must have an updated Java plugin for the chat to work.

Depending on the person's age they get one or two vaccines. This whole process was very quick, Nov To Feb! Sent from my SM-G900T using AllDeaf App mobile app

It was actually less intimidating than I expected it to be, but the psychiatrist was letting me read questions from her computer and I would answer them out loud as she typed up my answers. It was just to make sure I was stable and had realistic expectations on the CI. By the way, surgery day...

Thanks Bott! Two people absolutely loved him. I wanted to make sure I had him. He uses stitches to close up the area too So that's nice to know.

I go in for surgery Feb 6th!!!! So freaking excited!!! I decided to go with Advanced Bionics :) They will do the worse side and I got a surgeon that has awesome reviews from my peers! so happy! *clears throat* sorry, had to share :giggle:

I need to find their email ☺ I can't be the only one interested Sent from my SM-G900T using AllDeaf App mobile app

I know on the show "How It's Made" hearing aids are sjown, but what about the cochlear implant? That would be cool to watch (how they make the processor and implant). Sent from my SM-G900T using AllDeaf App mobile app

I hope you heal up nicely!

That's another big thing that sold me with AB, "surround sound" so to speak lol. I wonder what it's like listening underwater!

I made it through the evaluation it seems now I'm waiting on the appointment with the surgeon. Sent from my SM-G900T using AllDeaf App mobile app
