SeaJenSurf Wow, thank you for that wonderful message...I will try and heed your advice (as difficult as it may seem at times!) It's SO refreshing toi know there's SOMEONE out there that also knows how frustrating Late Deafened can be... I am very glad the CI works out for you----me, I...

Thanks so much for the welcome Bebonang....I agree with you about birds...I also want to be one after I pass (a Seagull lol) and as silly as it sounds, I actually believe that's what birds are....souls that have passed on and looking down on us still here... They have wings just like...

Really, if she were deaf in both ears, a HA would NOT be giving her all those intricate sounds..and shouting up and down the stairs? Exchanging playful banter?? Yeah, RIGHT! LOL. I think she was originally just hard of hearing as opposed to completely Deaf in both ears. The sounds she...

Thank you smithtr...this seems like a very friendly place to come to and i'm so glad I found it!! :) And if anybody has info on Tampa Florida Deaf meets I am curious to where they are?? And do you HAVE to know ASL to go to one?? This is why I never go out...how to communicate socially...

About 3 and the music....I had a "Cultural Deaf" friend---he swore up and down he was born deaf and was NOT Hard of hearing in the least. Now I am late deafened, and can't hear music anymore at ALL....I hear squat when music plays..... So, the Deaf friend would always pop in CD's into his...

I posted already in other thread about SSDI and only now see there is an introduce yourself forum....silly me to jump that and dive right in posting so forgive my rudeness---it is not intentional! :) I was born total deaf in my right ear and no one ever found out why and life was dandy with...

Thank you all for the replies & advice---they are very much appreciated and helpful!! Midnight Sun---the speech to text device---is this a phone/pager or a device you walk around with that captures peoples speech to text when communicating to them in person? I will Google that for more...

I'm down in Tampa, FL and it's going down to 30 degrees tonite...yikes....Last year I had to scrape ice off my car in the morning it was so cold!!

Webexplorer--- Do you really believe that the regenerate stem cells are somewhere on the horizon? That is another small reason i put off CI---because if you get CI then they cant regenerate cells because they kill off all nerves that were used for hearing. Maybe it is false hope----but I...

Bottesini-- Thank you for your reply!....I declined the Medicare part B because I couldn't afford to have to $85/month (at the time) taken out of my monthly SSDI to cover it, so I only have Part A which doesn't cover the CI's. And I have done HEAVY CI research and it seems it is a grab bag...

Frisky Feline--- I applied and received my SSDI in 2006---I went Deaf in 2005---My right ear was always Deaf but I never let that stop me...but in one day the left ear just went....all in the span of like 5 mins all hearing vanished. So the first time I applied for SSDI in 2006, which was...
