If that where to happen we would not be left out in the cold. The threat of law suits alone would force the company to address that issue. If for example Cochlear closed down. I'd imagine it would be taken up by someone else. Those who already have a CI will not have to have another surgery...

Here are a couple of variations. I went to the Cochlear forum and asked for opinions. All of them either have the CI or are about to get one. They all like the "CI CAN HEAR NOW!" slogan. Who better to know then a group of CI user for that's who this shirt is being made for. I also tried the...

Thanks so much for all the feed back and suggestions on this. I'll show you the finished design when it's done. The event this is for is more then a month away so I've got time to experiment with it. Maybe when I'm done I can give you all the image and you can put it on a T-shirt with one of...

Thank you. Incorporating both CI and "deaf pride" would suggest one has to do with the other. They don't. ;)

That is a great suggestion about the colors. I've got some time to work on this so I'll really that that suggestions into consideration and see if I can work it in. Well, like I said I just started working on this today. I generally end up trying many designs before I finally find what I'm...

I agree but that's another discussion. :) Well, it's still up in the air. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on it. I guess it's back to the drawing board. Was just an idea I was tossing around for it. I might not use a slogan at all. Just thought would be nice if I could find one to make...

I really do understand your point. But like I said. These people won't fall for false hope. They've already got their implant. The purpose of the gathering is not to talk anyone into getting an implant. It's not about "Pushing the product" or encouraging anyone to get a CI. I belong to a magic...

Thank you for the replies. I'm not looking to address any issues about the CI with this. There's no aim to correct any misconceptions. There will be a bunch of teenagers who happen to have the CI (Already have one) together. They already know what it's about and what it can and can't do for...

Good point. I do see where you're coming from but with the CI everyone can hear. Not hear everything of course but they all can hear sounds. But the ones that will be there already have the CI. So it's not for people who will get one, it's for those who already do. I'm still thinking. :)...

I just had an idea for this that I'm juggling around. But it's not quite there yet. The idea is: "CI can hear". A kind of combination of: "See I can can hear" And "Cochlear Implant can hear" Something isn't quite right with it yet. What do you think? Ron Jaxon

I'm a graphic designer. A while back I had an idea for an icon that means "Cochlear Implant". We've got the icon for deaf so I just worked on this as a sort of pet project. Here's a version of that design Anyway, I showed this to my audiologist. They contacted me because some teen...

I was browsing around youtube because I'm kind of pushing myself with my new CI and starting to be able to hear music a little. So I was searching for songs I knew from back in the days when I could hear before going deaf. It's such an awesome feeling to be able to hear some music again, but...

I have google voice and it's great. It does transcribe voice mails into text so you can read them. For mobile you can have the transcribed text sent to your phone as a Text (SMS) message so you can read them on your mobile phone as well. The transcribes will have some mistakes of course. My...

That looks great. Feel free to contact me if you need any more help or suggestions. In fact I'd like to PM you about something if you don't mind. Ron Jaxon

I'm deaf and I have some friends who are blind. Communication can be challenging of course but here's how we do it. Now keep in mind that I can speak fairly well. The first half of my life I could hear well enough to get by in normal school and everything with my hearing aids. I became deaf in...

I've posted in various discussions about ideas for a device that would help us deaf to communicate more easily. A friend of mine is an iPhone App developer and he's still trying to get all the information he needs to try and make an app that makes use of the voice recognition. Most likely the...

Pretty much how the Baha works isn't it? Ron Jaxon

You know what? I thought about something like this a long time ago. For one things even though I've been deaf for almost 20 years I've been able to pick up sounds with my teeth. I know it sounds silly but let me explain what I mean. Have you ever grabbed a rubber band between your teeth and...

Forget the dictionary definition. That was not written by a deaf person either. The definition of "deaf" as I always understood it to mean is that their hearing is not capable of allowing them to communicate by sound alone. If you can hear well enough to know what someone is saying just by...

Well in our case it was at a JW church so we should have seen it coming. Surprised they didn't come knocking on our door after we stopped the lessons. :)
