Ahh so if you made the first remark which had to do with asl, and really it sounds like you think because she's deaf she absolutely needs asl or she'll never learn a thing....others disagreed and that hurt your feelings? ugh. you need to grow thicker skin. Now this remark " lol i did it...

Merry Christmas Sheri and may you new year be better then the last. :) And: Thanks for all you do for those who are having problems with their insurance. Many do want to hear so LTHF gives them that chance.

well when I looked in my drivers manual it says that the light will come on when there is approcimately 3 gals left in the tank. so a van continuing to go 60+ miles after the light comes on would probably be about right.

did I think it was a HA...no. So there was no disappointment. Have a great Christmas. :)

Shel why would it be so unusal for someone who hears normally to wonder how they are going to communicate with a deaf person? Not all deaf are able to speech read. Not all deaf are able to sign. Not all deaf can write sentences with correct structure, some to write more ASL then english. So...

Vallee if they'd like to speak (email) with someone who's child with DS was placed in an ASL program and how it helped said child I will give you my email. Just private message me. I know how difficult it is to make decisions and how sometimes contacting someone who has made that decision can...

Good for them, no need for them to be living in the poor house while helping those who are ASKING for help.

Well the way I see this is, if you think people like LTHAdvocate should not recieve a salery for helping those in need (who choose to get the CI's of their own free will). why should those who 'help' people get their accomdations needed to get their eduation get compensated with a salary? Do...

A quick reply then I'm outta here for awhile, gettingready for Christmas and daughter and her hubby coming. It may surprise you that HA dispensers also can argue against implants. I got the 'lecture' because my center sent me back to my dispenser to have the Ha's adjusted before a retest...

CI's rock and HA's suck.... for me at least and it shouldn't have been that way. I was 'ambigious' now I hear. :) :) :) Thankfully the gubermint hasn't gotten it's fingers to deeply into the regulation of the insurance yet. BTW very few insurance companies will approve abigious...

SO all deaf/hoh people should think as you do and object to the implants? Don't think so. we are all individuals and all have different goals in life. Mine was to hear better. Many of the recipeient of CI's that LTH has helped (not myself) are older people who become hoh/deaf and want to...

so you think that LTHF is recieveing payments from the insurance companies they're appealing against. Wierd. why would the insurance company pay them? Perhaps they'd have to pay the attourney fees from the appeal but that's normal in our system. But the way you stated that I get the...

Yes they have impressive resumes. I'm glad they're working to give us hoh/deaf people the chance to hear when insurance becomes an issue. :)

Shel I wore HA's for years, I never really liked what I got from them. When I got implanted I was only a profound/severe loss and scored to much in the quite booth. But life had gotten to the point where itreally sucked and the new aides I had purchased a year previously also sucked. I really...

I thank God for all those people involved in developing the CI and now those setting precedence so people can get the procedure done and hear again. :) I obviously have a different perpective then you do.

For those of us who actually LIKE to hear this foundation is a great option. I gave my sister info. so she could try contacting them regarding BAHA. It seems that they don't like to approve BAHA's either. (she likes to hear to, she thinks it would be cool to actually understand more of what...

The decision made on research was made by the mom of the blog who adopted 2 kids from Europe, one who was around 4 I believe at the time of adoption. The research was hers and in the individual case mentioned was valid for that family. (it was personal research) The link for that blog was...

Yes Jillio I'm quite well aware of that. I really don't need you to tell me that, thank you very much.

Hi Cloggy I find the article is interesting. But it's what I would think of a logical to have children using a CI to have more success with the addition of cues then without. I also read that blog from a mom who adopted and taught the deaf child cue based on her research. That child to did...
