That's the great relief for me. *whew* That was what I misunderstood. Many thanks!!! *mwah mwah* for clarification. Of course, I am very aware that I have to pay an audiologist and ENT doctor a visit to confirm the real deal. I believe that I am a candidate, for sure!! Funny thing...

Is there a link to the websites showing who would be a candidate?

Am I a candidate? I see... Sounds like I may not be a candidate. I was a perfect baby with hearing, until 14 months old... I lost both to spinal meningitis. My cilia hair is wiped out. However, my past audiologists were eager developing on my hearing ability with hearing aids. Most of...

Suitable? What would make one to be candidate for a CI? What if they want one so badly?

Hmm, Okay... I am intriguing on the timeline between Implantion and Activation. I noticed most of CI users got their acitivation one month after the implantion. Just like Sunryze, the surgery was 11 days ago and this coming Thursday, it'll be be activated. Can anyone tell the difference...

Oh boy, I feel so bad for not supporting those CIs in my high school years. I did not tease them, I respect their choices however I did not stand up for them. I pray that they'd forgive me. Now, I realize that I'd be falling in her position where she'd stand with her CI. This should not be...

Good one, Pinky. I am one of them --- I am planning to get CI. Probably within a year, I will get a CI soon after I collect the information to make a right decision.

LOL... Absolutely understandable! I don't wear HA or CI. It happened me couple times. What helps me to assure myself, 1. At your checkout counter, inspect your bags (All of bags) to be sure nothing is subjected to be suspect. (Play cool, pretend that you make sure that you have car keys...

Many thanks... this list just answered my FEW questions. Wow, what a richer resource!

Fascinating... can you guys elaborate the necessary of Medic Alert bracelet besides the emergency situation, MRI and communication purposes. :shock: Please explain the reasons not allowing driving and flying. I am kind of drowning in this post. One says this, one says that, one says...

Excellent, please do!! Thanks!! :ty:

Absolutely! I would not really understand that until I receive one myself. I wish that I'd know there are people with CIs in my area, even within my 50 miles range... to meet in person and get the information, etc, etc. Many hearing friends of mine are not comfortable discussing CIs because...

Can you explain why you people mentioned the name's CI technology, implanted and activated with dates along? I did not notice until now... you all stated your CI's, dates of implanted, and dates of activation. Is it necessary or is it important? You all remembered the specified dates so...

Hmm, what about Medicare/Medicaid? And, I was looking for the insurance plans through insurance carriers, My online research really sucked, could not find good insurances to cover CIs. Can you name few insurances via PM, or if you feel comfortable to name one here. Thank you...

You all are excellent resources. I am thinking about receiving CIs in the future. I'd love to listen what you said, share your experiences with us, and so on. Yeah, I was almighty against CIs because I am damned Deaf, went to Deaf school, Fluent ASL, Deaf Culture, etc. Now, things changed...

Not surprised! I am not surprised about those Gallaudet Greeks. It's nothing news and they are just !@#$%^&*. It's in their bloods. However, I am applauding your efforts. I am proud of you. Just keep doing what you like. Keep up what you are doing. Helping others is good. Your...

Hmmm... It's possible. Nobody denys one's choice. It's the freedom, whoever wants to be one. That's up to them whatever they choose. As long as one doesn't violate, harm, kill, whatever hasn't disturbed the citizen, then... that person is alright.

She can try political seats in local city, county, some states, and house representatives. Yea.. However, US President, no. She has to born in the US to qualify.

Yes, very true. IF that person is a member of Al Qaeda, that person is born in the US, age 35 and lives in US more than 14 years. Yes, that makes that person of Al Qaede qualified to run for president. Yes!! Yes!! BUT.... that person has to convince the people to vote that person. That...

It will be VERY HARD to change laws in the US Constitution. It will be very long and tough to change. It requires numerous of votes to pass the amendment to change the Qualification for US President in the both houses of the Congress, then, Congress will send the passed-amendment to the states...
