    Thieves exploit phone system for the deaf

    Coffee Crazy, no need to worry. From my point of view, it is the scammers and solicitors who are the real issue, rather than occassional prank calls, because frequent scam calls indirectly affect deaf people by making businesses hang up on them. If there were only infrequent prank calls and no...

    Thieves exploit phone system for the deaf

    Boy are the scammers despicable and real assholes... can't believe there are so many assholes out there taking advantage of the relay services.

    Dicussion about CI.

    There's pros and cons to having the CI, everyone knows that. It's not the CI that's the problem. It is possible to see the beneficial side of having a CI, but is that the only side you see? By using the argument of seeing the good side versus the bad side, you seem to be ignoring potential...

    To those who had been implanted

    Jasin: Hearing people need to see analogies like those so they can understand a deaf person's perspective on things. Lilly's Dad has a deaf daughter, so he could benefit from the analogy, and that was R2D2's purpose in using your quote--R2D2 wasn't addressing you directly. Miss Delectable...

I will check into it, in the meantime. Kayla123, don't worry about sounding dumb. I didn't even know there was a...

    CI question - Please help

    Every child is different... some children are able to think really well at 12 years old, others haven't matured sufficiently until they get older.

    I am mad that I have CI *sigh*

    My deafness was caused by spinal meningitis, which led to cochlear ossification (bone buildup inside the cochlea)... I can see how ossification would give parents a very limited time frame. Nevertheless, parents need to recognize the importance of having a well thought out plan (short-term and...

    Father Confused on Coclear Implant Decision

    Kayla, sorry for not answering your question sooner. I wasn't taught the importance of speech or education... I know this seems hard to comprehend, it should be common sense; but part of it had to do with my socially delayed development, apart from my intelligence. That's why I didn't take CI...

    I am mad that I have CI *sigh*

    My parents didn't do 2, 3, 4, 5 on the list (shown above) of what parents need to do to be prepared before a CI surgery. That's why I felt disappointed about having a CI. There's a lot more to the story but I didn't give full consent (or must've signed a document without understanding its full...

    R2D2, Due to this being my first time participating in a CI discussion, I was at an uneducated disadvantage. R2D2, you did a good job of communicating and it's appreciated... You have thoroughly convinced me that there is more to the CI controversy. I'm on your side now. Given certain...

    I am mad that I have CI *sigh*

    Cloggy, I know a CI can have excellent benefits and I am glad that your daughter can sing, I'm sure it is a great thing to be able to hear. You said that being astronaut or diving under 100 meters is a rare occurrence--indeed it is, but what if your child ever wanted to do these things? I...

    I am mad that I have CI *sigh*

    Message for all hearing parents of CI candidate children We are all different, like you say; some of us may hardly notice a CI as being foreign from our bodies, while others will even though the CI works well, such as it does for Animal_Lover. I think the best way to answer your statement is...
