Hello, What's your degree? Certificate? Training, etc.? I am interested what most deaf people do for a living.

Miss Delectable, would you consider Cued Speech? That helps with visually seeing speech sounds. Some people use sign language and Cued Speech. It helps with pronunciation. Cued Speech is easy to learn in like a week. I wish I had known about that a long time ago. All interpreters should...

Have you gotten the videos from the companies? They are free if you request them. It might give you an idea. It's not realistic for people who were born deaf, but it might help you understand the CI better. They explain how the implant is inserted and how it works. It's neat, you should...

Well, I was interested in that. Like it is, it's going to take a couple of years if that can happen. It's funny because they said about 10 years back when I got my CI. It could take 20 or 30 years. I didn't want to wait that long to experience more hearing, so I opted for the CI. I still...

Yep, DeafScuba is right. HA won't do anything once you have the CI. LOL, I see what you're thinking, but nope...none of that happens. There are very few people whose hearing still stay, but they don't find their HA powerful as their CI. I don't have my hearing as it used to be. That was...

lol :D

A CI is not to be compared to hearing aid...EVER. What some adults who become suddenly deaf have said is that the CI can sometimes sound a little metallic because it CI is artificial hearing. A hearing aid amplify sounds. CI do not amplify sounds to excisting hair cells. It just replace...

CI's are meant to last a lifetime, but there are unfortunate circumstances where some people need to have reimplantation because of internal failures. It does happen sometimes. However, it's meant to last a Lifetime. There are people who's had CI's for 20 years and more. The CI's have 10...

Raven, it's up to you to decide which ear. I had the choice because they are equally about the same. There was not greater or worse loss. It now really doesn't matter, but usually it is recommended in the poorest ear if both ear are almost the same. If you heard more in one ear, then that's...

How do I found out what areas are providing captioning to the hoh/deaf audience? What are some websites you look up for updated captioned movies? If you have seen captioning in movies, are they open-captioned or do you have to request the rear-window or whatever it is called? I went to...

Well, I think you have to see if you can find out what's the cause of these fluctuations in your hearing. Have deeper testings to see if there is a cause. There are some people who have opted for CI's to solve that problem. It is a very difficult one. Do your best to do testings and talk to...

LOL! I knew it sounded so weird and funny. I didn't know how else to say it LOL. I was told that it's like an Earthquake.

No way! That's like people driving with their cell phones. There are some people who almost crashed with me and almost hit my car walking looking down. I have had enough with crazy people driving. There are tv now installed in cars in those little things above you for blocking the sun? Some...

AppleSeed, I have not heard from anyone that did not wake up from a vibrating bed. That seems to be the best option for you since you are a deep sleeper and even the box that comes with the SonicBoom claims it's for that also. Some of the equipments that are for deaf people come with large...

It's true that some people will luck-out of their problems, but metabolism doesn't always save you from other problems like diabetes, heart attacks, clogged arteries, etc. Metabolism just burns calories faster. Clinton is an example. He's in good shape, but ate lots of fast food that he ended...

LOL, my mom would freak out if I found someone online. My whole family would. I thought I trusted my aunt once to write to her as 'friend', then she betrayed me by sending a CC to my mother. However, there was nothing personal in the e-mail, but still she had no right to CC my mother. I was...

Yes, I do understand. Did not say I did not. LOL, you sound uptight somewhat.

We need that over in USA :D . Why is it so hard for US Americans to understand that we are normal? :wtf:
