Ummm First of all - there is NO tube in the ear or cochlear for CI's. It might have been her eardrum that exploded and the eardrum has NOTHING to do with the CI. And yes, the eardrum if busted is painful. But other than that, CI's do NOT have anything inside that can explode. (And don't...

How are ears organs?? Organs are things that you need to stay alive - aka like Liver, Kidney, heart and etc.. Ears are NOT organs..

Yes, I have a progressive loss.. And I agree it is becoming more of an accepted issue. When I had asked this one individual he is a very well known leader in the deaf community, and is in 3rd generation deaf family. I asked him, what was the deaf community's response to you getting a CI. He...

Umm actually the problem that lies amongst most employers is the education - how to work with Deaf people. Most employers take the idea that deaf people are expensive and can't do this, can't do that and etc etc. But this is where we have to educate them on what we can and can't do.
