As a hearing parent of a deaf child. I feel that if an adult wants one, and is considered a candidate, then by all means, do what ever they can to get one. As a parent, it is YOUR responsibility to do your research. Then, after considering all options, make your decision. It is a family matter...

As Rock drummer said, agenda driven thread. Kalista, I brought this issue up several days ago. I dont recall hearing a response from you about it. Well.... any statements regarding you biased title for this? We are waiting:whistle:

Nobody has anything?????? No advice, pointers, issues that they have encountered?

I am compiling a list of safety issues for deaf children. I am looking for deaf, HA and CI issues. Then how these issues are addressed, if possible. The reason I ask is I am making a handout for parents of recently diagnosed deaf children, and am trying to find issues that I have not yet...

Aperfecttrace, take your crap elsewhere. We are discussing the progress of my daughter. If you want to try to stir the pot or piss people off by stating your biased crap, please go elsewhere. F.Y.I., you ignorant ass, as others have said here, all of the CI parents that are regular contributers...

Update! We went back for the 3rd audi session at the hospital. We have one more before her audi service is turned back over to her school. When we were looking into bilat CI, we were told to not expect too much of an increase in hearing in terms of a chartable increase. The benifit usually comes...

Sorry, late to the conversation. I've been elsewhere for a while. Tazers, at a minimum, I bet it would wipe the map. As far as damaging it, I'm not sure, ask your audi. If you were hit with a tazer, you wouldnt even the processor get wiped. You wouldnt get the chance to hear anything. I have...

Wow, something like 54 threads before the anti CI comments started. Im impresed actually. Or was it intentional? THE CI WAS NOT/IS NOT THE ISSUE. The fact that the parents failed in vaccinating the kid. Period. As soemone else posted here. "It is just a matter of time before something like...

In reference to your comment about Lotte, having to put on her CI to conform to everyone else. Do you make the same assumption about adults that have a CI? Alot of deaf adults, that have CI do the same thing. Most of the adults I talk to about CI tell me they enjoy the quiet morning to...

"BTW, welcome.. Nice to get such stories from you" I gree! Loud kid....... YES. When Lilly was a new born, we could never figure out why she would scream bloody murder in the car. We kept her in a rear facing car seat. After she was diagnosed, it made sense why she would scream in the car...

Ask away!

" my hearing is at 30-40 DB!!! --- before the CI, it was over 110 DB... even though it hasn't "SUNK IN", I can't wait to tell " You may still get more hearing in terms of DBs. Initially, Lillys first CI was giving her hearing at 30-30 DBs. AS the first year year went by, Lillys brain...

As Lucia said, if there is a magnetic field on a roller coaster that would make it dangerous if you have a pacemaker, or CI, it must be posted at the entrance. COuld you imgine the law suit that would follow an incident of a rollercoaster killing someone with a pacemaker or damaging a CI? That...

Ashleysmommy, the important thing is that she is communicating, not how she is communicating. If a thumbs up means she wants milk, so be it! Get the cutie some milk and celebrate that you are communicating. Keep working on it, and it'll all work its self out over time. This reminds me of...

I voted no. A technological device cannot kill a culture. The perception of the device may however. People must remember that culture is always changing and evolving. Look at a history book. Change is inevitable. If a society resists change, the change will happen anyway with or without thier...

Just wanted to update on Lillys progress. SHe had her bilat CI activated on Feb1. She did awesome. Over the weekedn, I asked her if she liked hearing from both ears. She looked at me, got a huge grin on her face and nodded while saying "YES". Yesterday, wse went back for activation session 2...

I second Lucias statement. Something is not making sense with that doctor.
