Hey LuciaDisturbed, you didn't get a chance to see the answers you asked for in my other thread 
. You and Faire Jour also asked for her audiogram(of the lady with moderate HL getting CI, well I am showing it here, got nothing to hide!), well I am posting it again here. It must have not appeared correctly last time, let me know if it shows up correctly this time, thanks. I am posting the link to the long reply and reposting it here as well:
I wanted to defend myself and clear up some misunderstandings! I am agreeing wirh LuciaDisturbed here!
AllDeaf.com - View Single Post - VamPyroX's audiologist fiddled with the controls to push CIs!
I had replied to you the following which you never read:
Show me where did I ever say I was against CIs. I am only against CIs being forced on people like VamPyroX.
Then I said(agreeing with you!):
I never pushed you or anyone away from CIs. If you read my other replies to you, I agreed 100% with everthing you said. I never once said youd benefit from a HA. You already shared your long story and I carefully read your story and I understood 100%. I know what a 115db loss is like and I understand personally what it's like not to hear high frequencies. You don't hear even low frequencies! That's why you stopped wearing HAs! Again, if my hearing got as bad as yours, id get CIs for myself! How can I be against CIs then?
I also said:
Show me where I said any of you are dumb. I am not a rude person! I was pointing out that some audiologists lack ethics and have the right to explain such cases. If anyone is offended by me pointing out that some audiologists lack ethics, fine let those audiologists serve you, it's your choice I don't care. I am avoiding those audiologists and that's my choice. Nowhere was I rude!
Here is the image, hope it's displaying properly. It did not display last time.
In her better ear, she has 10-20db more hearing in the mid frequencies than in her worse ear. I made her above audiogram in paint on her slightly worse ear. She was not wearing the best HAs, I know this because my aided scores will be better than hers. I really wish I had her audiogram, I would hear so much better with my HAs! The blue dots are the best possible aided scores, of which hers were way below. The red dots is her unaided hearing. She actually hears some sounds unaided while I am deaf without HAs. I really wish I could hear some sounds unaided!
But anyway she was scoring 95% on an online speech comphrension test while I scored a 72%(which is still way above the 40% maximum for CI) so I know well that her huge boost in the low frequencies is making that difference. We both lack high frequency hearing, however I really wish I had her low frequency hearing as id hear so much better as well as understand alot more speech like she is! I really, really, really wish her luck with her CI(She's a nice lady) but would have been curious to know how well she would have done with the best HAs that she never tried!
