    Hi there! I'm 45, Mom of 2. My younger daughter was diagnosed profoundly Deaf at 11 months, was implanted at 18 months. We started ASL when she was 11 months, BTW. The implant was a total failure due to her wispy nerves, completely absent inner ears. We were in total despair. She did not sit...
