Hi! My name is Sean. I am a 44 year old hard of hearing man. I wear hearing aids but still miss alot of what ppl are saying in conversation.I am considering Cochlear implants but there are alot of risks to the surgery and it's a highly invasive surgery too.  I am on medi- Cal and SacramENTo ent says that if my new hearing aids ( I have Starkey hearing aids) do not work well for me they will set me up for acochlear implant surgery at UC San Francisco. These aids don't work well for me-- but I have been thinking of avoiding the surgery and studying ASL or SEE..I think SEE is the  better option because my first language is English. A problem I have is that there are no SEE courses available-- that I know of-- in my town...they do offer ASL at the local community college but the classes are geared towards hearing people not LDAs or hoh. Anybody have any suggestions?

     Thanks.
