I know some deaf people who changed their views because they mingle with the deaf community, so suddenly they change and act mad. Some do, believe me. They are brainwashed, so I wouldn't apply that to everyone. I doubt that for my life it would have been different based on my LIFESTYLE, not...

That doesn't apply to every deaf CI children. Many parent made the correct choice and their children are happy. I understand your own choice for you/your children and worries, and like I said before, I don't care what choice you make or other parents make. It's up to the parent when the...

javapride, my post was half intended to reply to Alex. Let me change the way I address it below. I had more inputs.

Me too. I got it, so it's not 7-10 days...maybe for some areas :dunno: I can't wait to see how this works! Now, I have to tell a few people to change my phone number to this. Yay for us :D. Make sure that you guys forward this to your deaf friends or people who know other friends.

Alex, Liebling and others. I can understand a lot of what is happening, but as a CI person myself, I have a lot of challenging questions to bring up because not every deaf child is the same. When I read, there's a lot of flawed reasons saying it's not life saving surgery especially WRONG...

See? This sounds like you're saying that if children got a CI early that they aren't happy. You seem to say that parents who choose CI don't want their children to be happy. I don't know where you're getting at here. It doesn't even seem relevant one bit. Are you just having a childhood...

I don't think it is rare. I have seen very many that way. I have talked to many who use ASL fluently and the opposite who use SEE and Oralism or both. I see a clear difference in their writing skills. It's so obvious that I haven't seen bi-bi work at all. I don't think that ASL should be a...

If you are referring this for CI evaluation, then it won't take as long as it does for others. It took me about 1 or 2 minutes. They did say that it would take a lot longer, but it wasn't. That's why I was puzzled. They place a "blanket" on you and wait a little. I don't know what it feels...

Guys, never mind. My bad. You need to register, and that's when you provide your own e-mail address. :Oops: Hey, I swear that if this stuff changes my life, then I am gonna tell them how thankful I am. You all should do this so that they know how it has helped us and continue to give us...

COSMETIC SURGERY???!!! This is a PROSTHETIC surgery. Do parents want their children to get their ears to look pretty? I don't know what you mean....... :dunno: I already said before it's a PROSTHETIC device. CI don't make people look prettier. It's a tool to help people hear better...

Never mind. This is a double post I changed something right when I clicked submit.

For anyone who's been chatting with deafies at that chat room we all know about with SM. Remember it was much better before and now you have strange weirdos wanting to be on webcam and date you? It's almost a dating service there. I hope this place does not turn into that. Alex, maybe you...

Wow, might want to look into it :D. Edit:Well, that's a shame because you have to be logged on to AIM to receive incoming calls or get voicemail. On Yahoo Messenger or ICQ, anyone can leave you a message without being logged on. Am I mistaken? I am not online 24/7. My mom will never...

Hi. I worked at Kohl's on a Seasonal Position. I only wanted to work stocking and not cashier or dealing with the phone. During my interview, the lady asked if I could hear the PA, and I said it depends/not really--meaning it would be mixed what I would get, so it's not really a good idea to...

Steel, Yes, I had a problem with my interpreter who would tell me things to write down. I couldn't tell if I needed 's' or not on certain phrases that are tough for me because I have never heard 's' with my hearing aids. It was frustrating, and I had to tell her sometimes. That's why I...

Okay Liebling. Let me tell you what I find weird with your story you mention, and why I don't agree with you. How is 7 years old not too late? Have you done some research reading besides hearing from negative experienced friends why 2-3 years is a crucial stage and why 7 is past that age...

http://listen-up.org/edu/cue.htm This website has a lot of resources on Cued Speech. It even has a story of a deaf child and parents that explain how they used it, and how it helps the child. It looks like Texas and Arizona area use Cued Speech more than other states. I have known on...

Hi, we already have technologies like that. Are you looking for something like that for your lectures? They don't use keyboards. That takes forever, but a Court Reporter uses a Stenographer which makes it easy. This is a technology called Communication Access Realtime Captioning (CART)...

I agree with Banjo. Magatsu, Bush isn't going to be here forever, so the approval could change ;). I am not sure if I am for stem cell research because I don't know exactly what it involves. I am only saying that if there were ever a cure in whatever way it is, then I accept the change, and...

garretmom, you made a great decision with your own son. That's fantastic, and I think you're doing a good job. To the others. That's an example of parents doing their own research and decide for their own kid. In my own interpretation, I think God leads you to different research and...
