Thank you so much! {Mod's Note - Previous post were removed.} I really felt like I was about an inch tall with her comments.:Oops: maybe a little embarrassed. You have made me feel a little better. I really don't know why I felt the need to explain to her...but, se did make me mad at first. I...

What I'm trying to do I know that I need to learn ASL and I intend to. My family depended on the income that I had. I could no longer do my job in a hearing atmosphere. I need ssi or ss or whatever it is to keep my family going until I learn the language. I'm sure that it takes time and time...

Sorry You have some really good points. I am sorry you have to work so hard to make it in this world. At the time of my hardship, I saw no other way. I feel like my family is falling apart. We can't communicate. I felt that staying at home, my children would benefit from it...maybe having the...

Thanks Maybe I just need to wait a little longer. It's just really tough on my husband. We are barely making it financially. I keep telling myself God will provide:fingersx: . April 7th will be 6 months. Hopefully I will hear something soon.

Thanks for the reply Thanks for the reply. Sorry things haven't been going to well for you. Hope it gets straightened out soon!:fingersx: I would say that most people are on this for the medical? I know that would help me a great deal! Good luck!

No, but maybe I should? My application for social security was a month ago. I figured that if I was approved I would heard by now. Is no news good news right now?

opinionated I am not lazy! I have worked ever since I was able to legally have a paying job. I am a teacher and I could no longer understand what my kids were saying and they couldn't understand me because my speech also messed up when I lost my hearing. I don't think there is anything wrong...

I am deaf and it just happened in 2006. I signed up for social security disability about 5 months ago. I had to quit my job because I was having a hard time performing it...I was a preschool teacher. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't wasting my time and getting my hopes up if someone who is...

Please let us know about her progress. I know that this is totally different but, my daughter is 4 an she is HOH. She got her hearing aids 1 year ago and I still have to fight with her to get her to wear them. The difference is that my daughter could hear before the aids and yours couldn't. So...

Offer them the chance If the person going with you knows the wedding party...you could say, "Hey, I bought this incredible gift for them and since you are going and know them would you want to chip in on it?" Otherwise, don't put their name on the gift and let it be just from you!?? How does...

Thanks for visiting! Hi! I am new too. How old is your son? If he is old enough to understand what is going on and he wants to hear then, go for it. I wonder if there is a kind of protective head gear that someone has thought of to protect people that has had CI. That's an idea. I think...

Lillies dad...the girl is very beautiful! I am new and I wanted to know if that is a bandage from the surgery? How long did she have to wear it? I figure if a child can go through this surely me being an adult can, right?:) I agree with your statement that it's something that has to be worked...

My 4 year old daughter wears hearing aids. It was covered when she first got the hearing aids but, as she grows she has to redo the molds and it wasn't covered. I had to pay $100 to get her new ones. Good luck!

deafdyke... thanks so much for the info! I will definitely look into those. I just wanted to mention that I am from Kentucky. Do you know of some that are closer to me? I know about Danville School for the Deaf in Ky but, it is for children. I don't know if my daughters hearing loss is enough...

Thank-you! You've been helpful. Now I know what a cyborg is anyway. I see that I am going to have a tough time desciding and it's possible insurance won't cover. We'll see...Thanks!

sr171soars...Thanks for the input. There is so many things to research here at AD that I thought it might be easier to post a thread and get info that way. I still look through them though. I am new and am still trying to figure everything out. One question though...what is a cyborg? Also, does...

Just deaf I want to know all I can about it before I make a decision. I am 37 and started having hearing problems about 15 years ago. I do remember having some problems in the 5th grade but, didn't go to doctor. My ENT has pretty much decided it is hereditary. My 4 year old daughter is HOH...

I'm glad you shared your experience. WhenI was hearing and had hearing aids...my son (11) was with me. I was walking down the hall in the clinic after first getting them and heard noises behind me. I turned around and pointed to this lady who was wearing very noisy shoes and said "That's what I...

I want to hear opinions of those who have had the CI. Is there anyone it didn't work for or who regrets having it done? I am a candidate and want all the info and opinions I can get before this life changing decision is made. I want opinions of adults who have it. Or those with children who...

Thank you so much for this info. I would very much like to go but, March 1-4 I am a nanny for my friends. I would definitely like to go the next one. I can't help but wonder if I will feel lost as I do not know sign language. I realize now though that it is important for me to have deaf friends...
