    But then again, spasticity sounds like fun. People who have audism have a high Deaf/HoH spasticity level :)

    Day one

    Yea CICs and ITEs are really noticeable from the front. A big hard plastic thing with knobs and buttons in your ear is a lot more noticeable than a transparent silicon mold and a small tube :)

    Signs placed in sexual predators' yards

    Fair enough, but what if he's not where he's supposed to be. Think he should wear a headband that says "I am sexual predator" at all times so when he moves out of his area other people can be warned :)

    Signs placed in sexual predators' yards

    It's pretty complicated language for a kid to read isn't it? and how many kids know what "sexual predator" means?

    Day one

    It usually is. BTW a lot of HoH people can't hear their voice well, so they speak loudly to compensate. They don't realize they're speaking loudly until after they get a hearing aid :)

    Deaf People Want To Be Cured

    "Admit it. You aren't like them. You're not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider...

    Adaptive Pitch (CI users preferably)

    All scores are pretty variable over here too, also the tone isn't that pure lol.. PCs aren't really good at much, they're just pretty good at many things :)

    I think so too.. you don't necessarily have to have a "deaf accent" if you are deaf.

    Medel - Rondo Info

    It's not exactly like normal, notice she says "I just push the telecoil button on the remote" -- the receiver in the Rondo uses a telecoil to read and interpret the magnetic signals coming off the phone. This might not work with all phones.

    Does anyone still use TTY?

    It's not only that, it's also slow because of the distance.

    How the Oral-only philosophy destroys deaf children

    I pretty much agree with everyone else, it may have nothing to do with him being raised oral, but saying this or that is wrong and should be excluded is just plain silly. Author himself admits that he managed to get a doctorate with it, how can it be bad if it allowed him to do that? :P

    Deaf People Want To Be Cured

    Would not make a big difference to me. One or the other it's both the same :)

    Sensorineural Hearing Loss and APD

    APD here too I can eventually understand speech in noise, but it depends on the type of noise. If many people are speaking, I can't hear and understand all of them at once. If I sort of focus on one person, and then listen to him/her for a while, then it starts making sense, but he/she has to...

    Windows 7 or Windows 8 for new HP notebook

    I think a general rule is, never use MS's latest operating system, it may be faster and better looking, but it will take a while for all the bugs to be fixed :)
