I agree with you almost always people who make that sort of comment are either stupid or just don't take the time to really listen or are in denial like my mom. Once my daughter was about 3 and had be hearing with hearings aids for about a year. She was doing pretty good talking in about 2...

So right Cloggy what do some these people know about CI:run::run::run:

And that is exactly what I am doing giving my children choices and letting them make informed decisions.

Do you really think, and before you answer read your post. Do you really think us hearing parents of deaf children are going to listen to someone like you? Remember that 95% of deaf babies are born to us hearing parents. Just because my children have implants does not mean that I do not...

I am not sure about all surgeons but I know that in CA they are.

So this is not related to meningitis but we live in an unsafe world. It is has been in the news everywhere out here in southern CA. A middle school boy was shot and killed in class. In a middle of road neighborhood. We take a chance every morning sending our children out there to an unsafe...

But what is the chance of getting it if you have been vaccinated, it is .5% well, then I have higher chance of getting killed in my car so I better lock myself up in my closet.

I hope you feel better. I know something is going around the west coast, I guess it is going around everywhere. All of therapy appointments this week have been cancel because of the flu.

It is just so funny how people just want read into things and have selectively reading abilities. And don't take the time read something completely and just pick out something to fight about.

I agree with you 100%, each child is unique and each needs something different. Even in my family that both children come form the same mom and dad and have the same disability, they are both so different. Both kids fully mainstream at our local high school, where my son excels in the Science...

You are right it doesn't matter what we say or we say it or how much proof we have they will always come back to same thing over and over again even when proven wrong.

When the education liason was telling me this, it made me so awful, it was bad for both of us because we both have teenagers with implants and we know how much hard work was involved and the services that we fought and still fight for. Our kids are successful because of all the hard work. This...

You see that's what happens when people are misinformed. Just today I was speaking to the education liason on an implant center. She said that there was a doctor that would happen children in his office and then send a note to the school to treat the child like he was hearing. The doctor...

Isn't it hard to watch our children grow up. My daughter is in 11th grade. One more year of high school. And she knows when and what type of an interpreter she needs.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Not only do I have 2 children with implants plus about 10 of their friends have implant plus I have had abour 20 students current and in the past with implants plus I have about 20 professionals that i know that have implants and none of them have...

Hi Richard, I was wondering would you please tell me about how long you went without using the ear that you just got the second implant. On that second ear did you wear a hearing aide before. Vallee could you also answer that questions. I know you wore hearing aids but did you ever not...

I agree with you 100%. The problem is that they give no real information about these CI kids they talk about their speech is not clear. I have met so many CI kids and there are couple that did have not very clear speech but it is because they were implanted after 6 years and that is the key...

VamPyro, are you a student or a professor at RIT. I am wondering because my daughter has expresses an interest of going to school there. Is it a good school, what programs would you say are good there.

I know you are right and i have met amazing Deaf and deaf people since then but this is why I am careful as to what kind of Deaf and deaf people my children hang out with. It also goes the same way Doug not all oralist are the same way. There are many us that believe chldren can be successful...

Well, then that is something you or someone else in the Deaf community should do. Since my time is limited and I know how long the grant writing process takes, I am just going to give of my time to an implant center that I know does not have a a complete team.
