Frostbolt, I don't think anyone could or should convince you, you need to make the decision yourself and own it. What you probably need most is exposure to deaf children -- a whole range of deaf kids using various technologies and those who use none at all. Your ENT / CI center may be able...

thank you! :wave:

TLC Kindergarten Graduation: Class of 2024! - YouTube

This isn't CI-specific, and I've posted much of this in years past before this sub forum existed as a resource, but I wanted to step back the decision process well before CI's come into the picture to the point where most people have their first questions and share what our state provides...

On NPR: 'Who's On First?' The Sign Language Version On RosaLee's channel: Who's on First? ASL Performance by Janis Cole and Rosa Lee You can see how having RosaLee as our Deaf Mentor was so much fun!

We found a wonderful ASL-based daycare through our early intervention services which took place at a school for the deaf. The school's daycare for staff had openings and they accepted 3 of the 1 and 2YO children who were in the parent infant program. It seems to be the only one operating in...

Really good point Csign -- my daughter started picking up SEE signs this past year and when I asked her teachers (in a very bi-bi, ASL-first academic environment) about this, they explained that many of their deaf teachers actually use quite a bit of Signing Exact English when teaching children...

Did you pair your remote with the backup processor (place the coil against the indented circle on the back of the processor and follow the steps on the display side)?

Have you located the nearest school for the deaf? They may be able to point you to local resources for ASL instruction for you, for your child, ASL-based day care (if it exists locally), ASL-based playgroups that would include your daughter as well as your son, ASL-fluent SLPs and early...

The audis at the CI clinic we use, associated with a large hospital, all have had varying levels of ASL (and either AuD or PhD degrees in audiology). We've had two audis with hearing loss, one fluent in ASL, one not fluent, but with enough sign to communicate the basics. Our audis often have a...

Angel1989, what did you find caused the problem: T-coil or sensitivity? Often audis will lock sensitivity and volume controls for new users for the first few months until they complete the steps involving moving up to normal volume using just the programs. Is your sensitivity control unlocked...

I can tell you how we achieved this -- given that I hadn't previously been exposed to ASL, either. I'd been told by language experts that if we chose to use ASL as our child's means of communication, we'd need to immerse her in the language, among fluent users. Just as you would naturally...

Bullying is a problem for deaf kids in all schools, not just in the mainstream. In MA right now there's a very high incidence of bullying in the schools for the deaf. Researchers from Gallaudet are teaming up with local schools and with hospitals to address the issue, trying to determine why...

We found some of the best resources in the following organizations: the Deaf and HOH Department at Children's Hospital Boston (they provided audiology staff, ENTs, and psych staff who are experts in educating deaf children and opening up avenues for communication) Early intervention...

Hello, and welcome! :wave:

Hi! :wave: We have voices-off time at home, and roughly half (if not more) of my daughter's day at school is voices-off. The reasoning is that if you enforce voices-off, you are ensuring that the child who is deaf is never left out of the conversation. That's important even at a very young...

Sorry, not my call. :dunno:

I'd asked if being both oral and asl-user made a dead battery a non-issue, Naisho explained that this thread is only relevant to those who are oral-only, not for those who are also ASL users. We mostly use rechargeables for her CIs, backed up with disposables if somehow we miss a charge. They...
