My friend resides in FL and he had one of the best cochlear implant surgeon put in a Freedom last November. If you want the doctor's name, I will ask and provide it for you. Good luck!

I missed that part in your previous post lol. You're blessed with how your brain "reads" sounds :) My daughter is from the same cloth so she still has plenty of room to explore with her hearing aids. She's wearing the "old technology" analog hearing aids. I hope she doesn't lose hearing...

If I'm not mistaken, you used to be hearing so you could understand speech normally and you didn't have any problems understanding speech at your CI activation? I understand this doesn't happen to the vast majority of people. I would understand latened deaf people like you being comfortable...

The first one looked like a Datsun to me until I read that it was from Germany... The second one has to be either a Supra or RX-7. That aftermarket nose threw me off so I may be wrong. I think that nose is kinda too "2 Fast 2 Furiousy" to me :) If you're happy with it then more power to you!

:raises hand: I can't drive with an automatic transmission daily or I'd fall asleep at the wheel! It's cumbersome and boring.

:D I can tell from his posts that he knows a lot about developing videogames. Let's make a wager on whether if he is a programmer or something? ;)

Sweet Audi but I prefer my WRX's symmetrical AWD over the Quattro's system ;) The Triumph's nice, too but I'm a Buell fanboy :)

Check this out, Westinghouse: 1080p Monitors Tour and if you go over to "1080p Explained", you will see the difference between pictures from 480p and up to 1080p. Bad ass.

And, GameMaker, could you be kind and tell me what you think of Westinghouse's new HDTV lineup -- preferrably the LVM-47w1? I think this monitor may be the best bang for the buck for 2007. Do you have any other suggestions? I'd like my next widescreen HDTV to be bigger than 40 inches, have...

From your 4 posts here, I can tell you know something about videogame design :) Please do come back more and feel free to educate us how videogames' shortcomings aren't because developers are lazy but because of how complex the design process has become now. If you don't mind, could you...

Magic. Lemme ask you a question in return, how do hearing people have sex?

I wish I could visit here more often, too. Our daughter can pronounce "Z" but as for Marshall? My wife isn't sure so she just told me she'd try and get more information from their school tomorrow.

The benefits are clearly presented in the .pdf provided by Boult and in the other thread started by Boult. I believe that nowadays and in the future, the insurance companies won't really have a case to deny bilateral implants. It's simple: if other people in the US of A have bilateral cochlear...

Thanks for the read, again!

You rock, too! Thanks!

BTW, I think my amazement is the result of having low expectations... that's the best advice I can give to other parents. It makes the success taste even more sweet.

Good question: I'm a believer in cochlear implants if you can't benefit from hearing aids. I'm trying to be mature about this experience and not let it go to my head. I know my daughter will be able to communicate with the world just fine like her mother so I'm not worried at all about her...

Small but awesome update. Last night I asked my daughter what she wanted to be and she said she wanted to be a cheerleader via sign language and speech at the same time. My son knew what he wanted to be but he just said he wanted to be "star wars" through sign language only. I had my wife...

I'm sure he/she would like to keep that type of information private. I'd take his/her messages at face value if I were you.

Eh, I'd probably wait a little bit before wearing the CI... but I hope your audilogist keeps the map really light if you really want to wear it right away.
