It takes all kinds to make the world go round -- I am deaf and have seen all kinds of Deaf, deaf, hoh, "hearing" and Soars has the right to choose his way of life. Deaf communities is NOT everywhere... The sole deaf, Deaf, hoh, etc. should be able to determine his/her lifestyle. Also, I...

Tariq, I have met Lillys dad and find him to be a great guy who loves his daughter and I fully support him in what he has to say. This is no place to call other people's opinions STUPID -- you can find better and softer wording for that. In other words, there are posters on this forum that...

I double echo Cloggy's and Lillys dad's comments! You've come to the right place! (I'm deaf but I'm not implanted -- my deaf grandson was implanted last summer and I lurk here to learn and yes, I'm learning -- you will too!)

LOL! Hope Fragmenter makes note of that for his son! Anyway, Cyber -- glad you got through surgery fine. And when will you be "turned on"? Wish you the best!

:gpost: S I agree with you both! We all have different tastes, expectations, needs, etc. and what you have may not be what I need. That make any sense?

First of all, I want to welcome Believer! You've come to the right place and please pardon the very few dissenters! You'll learn to ignore them... And, R2D2: I do understand the concerns though that some people have about hearing parents believing that their children are now "normal". I...
