Jillio - :D :D :D Hopefully NOW people will play nice too...

Hi! Yes your post makes sense. :) I'm not sure how we can help you, though. I'm glad you had such a terrific beginning in your first relationship with a Deaf man. I'm sorry he wasn't...mature enough, or ready enough to treat you as you should be treated. I guess my only advice is, just...

Did I say infants? I should explain. When the child is OLD ENOUGH to make that decision for themselves - then they should. Not the parents. I should have clarified that before, sorry. Old enough in my opinion is from 10 years on, when they know enough and have experienced enough to make the...

Yup! My dog sleeps with me. Since I tend to sleep on my side, he will curl up where my legs bend. Keeps my feet warm too.... :)

THANK YOU!!!

Gotcha! I'll try that the next time someone wants to see a powerpoint I did on something related to deaf culture. THANKS! :D

I have the ASUS EEE PC, and it is AWESOME. Perfect for school and on-the-go writing attack!

CHOCOHOLICS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!!

Cloggy, in answer to your question on when my friends got CI... when they were 1, 2 years old. And you're assuming a lot about me. I happen to be a deaf education major, and I learned more about CI in college than I did out of it. And like Jillio said, this is the "why you would NOT...

That happened once when I was in the 6th grade. A fellow student leaned over and tried to whisper in my ear. I was like, "I'm deaf. That means I can't hear you." I think I embarrassed the poor girl. :D Most of the time I get the "tell her" thing. If I'm with an interpreter, I usually...

Jillio, cool beans! :)

The risks are still there and there is the risk of the nerve damage being permanent. I choose not to get a CI for that reason and also because for someone with my type of hearing loss, it just won't be more than a glorified hearing aid. No thanks. My digital hearing aids are wonderful and I...

If I had known he was going to react the way he did , I would have had a videocamera! :D

Off topic - yes I do Yoga. :D I was lucky enough to get that as a credited course this semester *YAY*!!! There's actually a DVD out called Deaf Yoga. Try to google for it, it's interesting. :) My only tip is to relax, take your time, practice meditation and just have fun. :D I love dragons...

I have profound to severe loss in both ears (90 db in R, 110 in L), and I wear HAs all the time. I can hear at around 75, 80 db with them in and I can distinguish sounds. I can understand speech sometimes, though most of the time it's like listening to a different language. I can hear the...

Congrats! New aids are always fun! :D The sqealing could be for two reasons: 1., the earmolds don't fit right/isn't deep enough (do you have a hole in the middle? Not the part that goes into the ear canal, the outer ear part...That always makes the worst squealing). The second reason is if...

Congrats! I hope the surgery goes well for you! :)

How do I attach a powerpoint to a message I'm posting?

the powerpoint is geared towards a classroom (it was part of my course on educational technologies), and I'm not sure how to attach the powerpoint. However, I can give you the link to the FAQ on the FDA website. US FDA/CDRH: Cochlear Implants - Benefits and Risks of Cochlear Implants...
