It's really sad that you can't understand how to interpret a dictionary. Obviously in your case, reading does not equal intelligence.

If you are deaf you are deaf. Period. If you gain some hearing aided by HA's or CI's you are still deaf.

Thanks for the definition. I thought I was asking for your opinion, not a lesson in forum etiquette from a noob. Carry on.

"A cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sounds so they may be detected by damaged ears. Cochlear implants bypass damaged portions of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Signals generated by the implant are sent by way of the auditory nerve to the brain, which recognizes the signals as sound."
