I started to think about police tasers the other day, in light of a story about a deaf man being tasered after he repeatedly told the police he is deaf: <br>http://www.kwch.com/global/story.asp?s=7446220 Would being tasered have an adverse affect on CI's and other electronically implanted...

I have heard of the LTHF... But they never answered my emails. Disappointing. I'm glad they've helped others though

Well, my ear hurts more because when the doctor went in, he found a lot of scar tissue from my first ear surgery that was impeding his work. When he cut away at some tissue (to reach my cochlea) he accidentally cut my ear canal. The pain is starting to subside when i sit still for a long period...

Hi everybody! I'm kind of nervous about being here, so I'm going to go with the name Elizabeth... Elie for short. I'm a 17 year old oral deaf... I wear a hearing aid and do not sign fluently. I've been out of the deaf world loop for a couple of years and missed it, so here I am. :D
