Audiogram: Only shows what one's hearing status is. How one deals with the "condition" entirely up to "you". To the above comment-#249 what is the differentiation between "sign vs Deaf culture"? Other than bald assertions on computers?

I believe you have in Ottawa an office of the Canadian Hearing Soceity. Phone them and they can advise exactly where the deaf meet. Good luck in your future interactions with the deaf using ASL.

His programme was not about the married former teacher Kay Letourneau. The only connection seems to be both are listed on Sex Predator listing. Feel they shouldn't be. Dr Phil's comment re: behaviour being stupid- applies.

Seems she is having a discussion with Dr Phil tomorrow- 3pm NBC/CTV. May 19, 2015. Although the name wasn't used in the preview but the situation seems exactly as noted above.

a bit different: Mothers day dance tonight.

It is an individual choice on how one will "live the balance of their life using ASL/voice off" VS determining if a Cochlear Implant is "suitable " for dealing with being deaf. Hopefully some hearing with the assistance of a Cochlear Implant. Presumably one visits an ENT doctor for...

Should enjoy "retirement work"-swimming and reading computers-alldeaf.com. Watch my username in 2 hours-latest in psychology.

Using a Cochlear Implant doesn't alter the fact that one REMAINS DEAF. Easy to test-disconnect the implant-very quiet/silence. Aside: Have used a Cochlear Implant almost 8 years. Still bilateral DEAF. Whether those persons using Cochlear Implants want to learn/use ASL et al is a different...

It may seem a bit "obtuse" to claim when one uses ENGLISH on this computer"somehow" one is "communicating" in sign language. As to the "observation" "hearie can easily learn sign" in order to communicate with "voice off/only sign" using person" - only in "fantasy land"=computers!~

hoichi: On my screen is ALLDEAF.COM, I am well aware there some deaf persons who don't/can't benefit from the use of either Hearing aids/Cochlear Implants. Thus the use of sign language ASL/BSL et al. Such is life. aside: I am still bilateral DEAF if I disconnect my Cochlear Implant-real...

Extension to the user of Hearing aids to those with "some degree of hearing loss" re: ASL/BSL et al utilization from prior comments re Cochlear Implants?

Generally speaking-Cochlear Implants are considered when Hearing aids are not much use-hearing wise. Also the state of one's health /ears/cochleas etc. have a bearing on the final decision. aside: in Sunnybrook/Toronto/Ontario since 1983 they have "reviewed" for Cochlear Implant-3000 deaf...

As a bilateral DEAF person, still trying to figure out how ASL is "technology"?

Reba: enjoy the day and lots more to come and celebrate. Cheers

Hi Sheila: the first thing you should do if your currrent hearing aid isn't giving "better hearing" is to have it "checked over" . Your audi can advise you after checkup. Good luck Welcome to Alldeaf.com

As I have been Implanted with Advanced Bionics Harmony a special card which lists the serial number/model/my account with them and the surgeon and his phone number. Whether this document is a "deaf certificate"-not sure. Supposedly if one goes through those machines which indicate one has...
