Will do on the last part. But eventually I may end up learning ASL for the heck of it. But if my CI were to stop working i don't know that it would be all that useful around here. I really think doctors and stuff should be required to learn it. That way if I have to go to the doctor at least...

I could do video chat, but as I think i mentioned earlier or maybe to you on Facebook. I'm not big into me being on video. I tend to only be only video when absolutely necessary. I don't like my picture being taken either. But it is a possibility.

I really didn't intend to offend anyone, hearing or not, at least with my initial posts. It really is a miracle. Visit zachsisk.com for a little more details than I have given here. I plan to keep posting and whatnot. I don't plan on being hearing again. But I will be able to hear something...

I think that a good online community is just as good as a therapist. Only difference between the two. In an online community you can have many people posting many different sides and stories. Which is what I have gotten BTW.:D

Unfortunately that isn't the case. I think I still have much to learn about PFH. You may also note that this weekend was new years eve..:hmm:

I still see no reason for me to consult a therapist. I'm not about to go commit suicide or anything. And as soon as this CI gets activated this week I think that things should go uphill quicker. Honestly I dislike going to doctors in general, they all seem to want to prescribe...

I understand and have known about the senses thing. The feel or touch sense seems to be the only one getting any better. Taste isn't really good and eye sight isn't great as it is. But i suppose it has room for improvement.

Well from my fall I have lost my balance, and my hearing as well as the left side of my face going numb. My left eye lid also doesn't function quite right ( it slouches.) But face numbness and eyelid are starting to return closer to normal. Balance is also getting better. Could just be from...

I will believe that, I don't think i ever declared you as anti-CI, but I still have my doubts on other users.

My biggest problem with not hearing, maybe because i'm used to hearing, is that I have no clue what's going on around me. If i'm in the house I can sometimes feel people walking but like at Walmart today, I didn't know if someone was behind me or coming towards us from the outer isles. I just...

Well you were there at my first thread. And at the time I hadn't decided that I was getting a CI as we didn't know if insurance would cover it yet. And you guys never said not to get a CI. Not that I remember.

I know there are probably deaf people here in my county. I know there are a few more who know ASL from the teacher. As for Charlotte, the only time I go there is for Dr. Appts. Other than finding people who actually know it, none of my current friends or family know ASL, and to have decided to...

So. If this is in relation to the placing of my post. I guess it would have maybe fit better in On-topic Debates. Didn't see that one however.

Lucky for me my hearing loss wasn't genetic, so chances are slim that i'd have a deaf child. If my implant does fail I guess for that short term I would probably end up communicating like I am now. Pen and Paper or reading lips. If the CI fails and re-implantation isn't as successful I may...

How does saying that I'm still a noob to being deaf having anything to do with me being mature. I could say that since you never learned to ride a bike, you're immature. Or You can't swim, you're immature. The list can go on and on of things that I may know little or much about. That doesn't...

Well, I don't remember what I said in regards to ASL and me learning it. But I didn't mean that I would never learn it. But I did mean that I aren't/wasn't considering it at the time. I was thinking Ci, i'll be set with communication. The idea was all still new to me. I now know that there are...

Sorry but I only drink Apple Juice. Most things I know more than enough about for everyday knowledge. Sure I may have offended quite a few over the ASL charade, but thats they way I personally feel. I'm not going to come in here and pretend I love ASL, if I don't. But i'll try not to bash it...

If you were newly deafened, just starting college, would you not act the same way? EDIT: I am still a noob to the whole deaf thing. Might be why I only have ideas of ASL and why I don't know about them.

Quoted from PostsFromHell I'll start: There was a poster who got bitter towards his tenure as an AD member. Hearing parent of a deaf child whose CI failed. Key similarities: He works as an IT dude. You claim to be able to pull a fast one around the mods here if you had a banned...

Well I didn't think it belonged in Cochlear Implants. Although they may pop up. But stay if you want to. I don't mind.
