yea, and works well for a lot of people. But obviously here a lot of people that have issues with it too. It shouldnt be a "one size fits all" because Its not, Doctors really should do more testing than just a hearing test before implant to try to lessen the chances of bad experiance with...

I am Deaf and my boyfriend is hearing--sometimes it can be difficult but also has its benifits. He is learning sign, though i wish it was faster! He is very patient with me, and I think its sweet when he relays for me (we live in south florida with a lot of accents I cant lip read). At home we...

long nails on anyone is gross and distracting. Nail polish on guys is weird, but nail polish on girls is not distracting to understand sign.

Thank you! I need to look into another CI dr. and see what they say if they will and if they think will help me :hug:
