Hi and welcome! I have 2 kids with hearing loss. I read you want to learm ASL ! I am not sure how much you know. But a great start to learning ASL is "Signing Time" with Racheal Coleman. No kidding. That is what I used until I was able to get into the Deaf mentor program. Just a suggestion...

to cellogurly~ I am curious as to why a person would resent their parents for getting them implanted if HA's dont benefit them at all ? In the end they can choose not to wear the implant. late implantation doesnt benefit them aswell as early so far I have learned that. unless you were hearing...

Thank you guys so much! I know this sounds typical of a hearing parent to say about their Hoh or deaf child but I just want them to speak and hear my voice. My daughter gets great benefit from her aids and she tells me thank you for her hearing aids a lot. her favorite thing to do is sing and...

This is great thank you all for your input!!! The CI is a great thing I was amazed of the clear speech a profoundly deaf child/adult can have! Some of the kids speak more clear than my own daughter who doesnt qualify for a CI. I just hope my son can develop clear understandable speech with just...
