Interesting.... why are you here? Trolling? Since... you don't see a good discussion in here..

Well put.!

Sometimes it does not work. Due to the body? Due to the mind? I think that a lot depends on expectations and willingness to make it work. This is true for adults that decided to "try" but also for the parents of children that are born deaf. For us, the medical staff put some low expectations...

..and I have seen excellent advice / experience for this thread...

Good information.. Thanks.

.. nor are the Navajo kids expecting the rest of the world to learn Dine (Navajo).

Would love to know which blog that is.. With a good working CI, the only "pain" I have heard about is when the coil is connected to the receiver under the skin. With my daughter, there is absolutely nothing to suggest that. She puts it on/off without a blink. But.. there are CI-users that do...

She's spot on.. Part of the success with CI is the technology, the equipment. A much, much bigger part of CI is the willingness of the user to work in order to get the best out of it. To solve possible problems with that occur. Some people will not have an improvement I guess and in that...

There are many people with N5 in one ear and Freedom in the other. The processors are able to handle both, so they will be the latest.. In the future, the processors will support older CI. Just like they do now. I don't see a problem.. And one of them is working fine... Don't touch it...

With that philosophy that means that "without sign language interpreters the Dhh person is lost.:" I understand that you want everyone to learn sign language, but that is not realistic. In USA they might first start with "everyone speaking Spanish" before they would start with ASL.. and I think...

Very good point... I have.. In Denmark, Bangladesh, Greece, Spain, Italy.. When I started to work in Norway, and started to learn the language, I was tired after 12 hour shifts. Dutch and English I can follow without effort, but for Norwegian I needed to focus.. Yes.. it's tiresome...

It's not getting derailed... Good information regarding how to use FM is shared by people that use it on a daily basis.. Including hearing parents of children that were born deaf. Headings at the beginning of a thread have in all the time that I have been on AllDeaf been a reason not to post...

"convenience " - interesting choice of word...

Thanks for the video.. wondering at what age she entered school... Sad story.. and happy to see there's hardly any similarities with Lotte.. Integration in the class and acceptance from other students is what is important. These things are well-established with Lotte. She has her friends there...

Audiologist is the one you should ask... He/she should give you the results.... I'm not familiar with it but I found this: More:

Alternative to FM is of course resources like a ASL translator and a scribe to do the work for you.. 2 persons helping you to get through school So much for independence..

I would be lost when dropped in Japan. According to your definitions I would be "Japanese-impaired".. How do you come up with these self-made definitions of "impaired". I gave you the official, global one.. What's wrong with that one.? Doesn't suit your life?.. Yeh, yeh.. Martha's Vineyard...

Where? Really... Where? You lost me after "Michagan Womyns Musicfest.. feminism... " Finally.. a question... Answer: Because... you're not missing something.. In health, any loss or abnormality of physiological, psychological, or anatomical structure or function, whether permanent or temporary...

Glad you liked it. I noticed the "m" before the web address on the two video's. Perhaps they were put there when I posted the video's using the ipad. As Grendel pointed out, removing the "m" brings you to the normal video. Regarding the Caption.. I captioned one (or two) of the video's. Quite...

..but this makes sense to you.. :roll:
