While I understand the analogy you are trying to make , it is not the best one. It is a poor choice of words. deaf , as used by most people ( in the general population ) , is an adjective. Descriptive of the lack of hearing sense. When the word is used this way , then yes , while using the CI...

If she can do that , then she does not fit into the category that 'most' people would call deaf.

Can you expand on what you mean by "backward compatibility" and why was that important to you ? One of the things I am readying is that the actual stimulator ( the implanted part ) has not changed with the CA in a very long time. And that the current processor ( Nucleus 5 ) just about maxes...

The limits are simply laws / regulations. They can be changed / challenged , and SHOULD be. That is the original point I was trying to make. While it may be needed for the fire fighter who enters the building to hear someone crying for help. Is it really needed for someone to drive the truck ...

Unless his wife is also a pilot , he is exposing himself to legal issues if anything went wrong. His license most likely has a waver which restricts him from any flight requiring use of a radio. If something was to go wrong any insurance he has would be invalid due to him operating outside the...

I understand that you are fighting to prove a point .. But you are unfamiliar with the profession you are speaking of .. From the article you linked to .. VERY INTERESTING read .. it may cause me to go and try to reinstate my license myself .. "CI user Thom Riddle's 3rd class medical...

Perhaps I should expand on this just a bit. the official information directly from the FAA Become a Pilot-Deaf Pilot Frequently Asked Questions-Certification the category of certificate required for "airline" pilot is "ATP" Airline Transport Pilot Licence - Wikipedia, the free...

Thank you for the link .. It is a good thread , and I was reading it yesterday . But perhaps you misread or missed the first parts of my question. I was trying to get more information about a specific comment relating to a CI killing someone.

Deaf airline pilots ? Doubtful .. Deaf pilots .. yes .. but not airline. FAA Medical Certification / Medical Standards and FAA Forms Requirements for medical certificate. Demonstrate hearing of an average conversational voice in a quiet room, using both ears at 6 feet, with the...

Hello all , I am a candidate for a CI and am doing research into which one may be the best for me. please pardon the question if you consider it a stupid one. But are you limited to the processor of one company ? Is it possible to use a processor from another company with a implant...

No results found for "death by cochlear implant". same results I am considering one .. which is why I would like to know more .. Not trying to start any arguments here. all of the information I have found is that it is complications from the procedure .. the original comment read as if the...

Your list includes many health and safety professions .. And I agree with some of them ..However you are making a very generalized statement and using absolute terms. While it may be true that you want the fireman that enters the burning house to be able to hear someone crying for help. is...

Can you please post some references ? Google has zero results for "death by cocular implant" Also please clarify what you mean by that.. They have died from the CI itself ?? malfunctioning device ? malpractice on the part of the doctor ? infection or complication from the implant...

its one more part that is 'bypassed' .. A CI bypasses the ear drum and middle ear .. the ABI also bypasses the cochlear and auditory nerve.

Have you asked the dr about it , and they have not answered the questions ?If that is the case , I would think about seeing another dr. Have you met the actual surgeon that would be performing the procedure ? You are about to allow someone to cut into your BRAIN. An hour meeting with the...
