This guy pisses me off, just seems like a lame dude trying steal money from deaf and hoh people.

The days of simple dreams seem lost in the fog of the past..... :ugh:

Ravensteve, Sorry to hear about your sudden loss, I am curious to how your doctor diagnosis what has happened to you.

Being human is to be born from a member of the human race.....

Of course I'm assuming that the hearing loss is genetic and not environmental in regard to my previous statements

I disagree with you, science has identified a lot of the mutations that cause deafness. Sure, not everything specifically is understood as to the effects in the ear specifically because of a certain mutation, which has to take in tons of variables and interactions. The big point I was trying...

You should talk to a professional, it is well understood that not everyone benefits from a CI. It depends on what is causing your hearing loss and this is not an easy thing for even a doctor to understand. If the doctor is unsure about what would happen. I would suggest reaching a genetic...

Actually cancel the age requirement, your well above the legal age anyway;)

This is directed toward people that have recieved CI's and are from 18-30 years old. How did you respond to the implant, was it frustrating or an amazing experience etc....? Please mention if you were completely deaf or hoh, if hoh how much loss do you have. And if the knowledge is known what...

Here's what I believe -CI do not hurt deaf culture, it's just the evolution of deaf culture. Deaf culture will only grow stronger with change, CI's are not a fix and do not even mask a persons deafness. It is obvious and people with CI's will definitely feel will comfortable around others...

Iowa City, Iowa here

Are there any nightclubs in Chicago that have a deaf night? If so, do a lot of people go? Thanks

The paper was not that great, I agree, but it had one interesting point, which was that preferential hearing during development helps determine what handedness you are. It is a hard topic to study but, who knows what things can be revealed upon closer examinations.....

Yep, I realized that I made a mistake posting this in the wrong section after it was too late...Sorry bout that. Thanks for the informative responses! I can hear most high pitched sounds with my aids...

Thanks! I appreciate all the responses! It seems that the highest percentage of left-handeness resides in the severe-profound deafness range, but a lot more info. will need to be found first to verify this. Thanks for the link to that article Levenion!

Hi!, I have been wondering for a while if there are more left handed people among deaf people then right handed people. From my experiences I have noticed a trend of left handed people. I want to figure out if I'm crazy or not. So if you could reply to this saying whether you are right...

I have a severe/profound hearing loss and I am thinking about purchasing some new hearing aids. My current ones are a little over 2 years old and are the oticon adaptos. I'm just wondering if any of you think the technology and quality of sound in the new hearing aids have improved much. If...

Thanks for the advice!, hope this works... Abe

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site, I will get this over with and tell a little about me. I am from Iowa and attend the U. of Iowa. I am deaf and on my last semester of college before I will have a degree in Biology. My future is uncertain and confusing... I feel strongly that deaf...
