    My Activation

    A footnote to the above: Sunnybrook/Toronto. Since 1983 they have examined 3000 adults for Cochlear Implant consideration. Of that 2000 were "deemed unsuitable" for implantation- variety of reasons. I was part of the 1000. Of that group 18 didn't receive any benefit from being implanted. Info...

    What if man never evolved on earth?

    Presumably the peace part comes from "entities being dead". Normally very quiet state-to say the least. aside: no sure about "vampires/living dead" now presumed to be "drivers of evolution"? Just checked the index of Evolution-History of an idea-no listing for vampires. Perhaps...

    Anyone interested in how the Idea of evolution from a historical point of view-consider "Evolution: the History of an idea" Peter J Bowler University of California Press, Berkeley California 1983 412 pages. He was a professor at The Queen's University at Belfast

    What if man never evolved on earth?

    Don't recall that humans were "differentiated by breeds" which only the "fittest" survived from the long past- eons ago. Which "characteristics" were deemed to be "keys to survival" unknown at the present time.? Not sure if Google can answer that hypothesis? Does "humankind" personally...

    My Activation

    I was 70 when implanted however I was deemed to be in excellent health. Thanks in part to daily swimming. I recovered very quickly and could resume swimming 2 weeks after the operation. This all happened almost 8 years ago. As we know one is examined extensively at that age-

    What if man never evolved on earth?

    The logical answer if man never existed on this earth since the "beginning of time" then "whatever" did would/might still be "here". Does Google know? The "problem" where would "humankind" be "located" if still existent? Fortunately we don't to have to get to "excited" as that eventuality...

    Myers Briggs Temperament Sorter :-)

    Though I deemed to be "ISTJ" however the test doesn't seem to factor that one is deaf. Which can/does alter exactly one interacts in social interactions.

    What if man never evolved on earth?

    It might be an "interesting" thought to consider what if "humans didnt "arrive" on this earth eons ago? That raises the question-why dinosaurs were "picked" to start the evolution process? I would suspect not too many people are "unduly preplexed" at the present time. Seems life is too...

    To reinforce what I commented above: My brother was 16 months younger than me. Also had the same "hearing problems" I had=Sensorineural/genetic. When I became "bilateral deaf-December 20, 2006" and went through the process at Sunnybrook/Toronto-relativel quickly... He tried about a year...

    Cochlear Implantation benefits

    From my experience at Sunnybrook/Cochlear Implant section-Toronto.2007. One can't determine ahead of time what may/will happen when implanted. The reason- each of us is very peculiar on how our brains handle the different imput of sound via Cochlear Implant. All one can do is be very...

    Hard of hearing on a deaf site?

    If you found a deaf site/location I assume the deaf persons there would "voice off" and use ASL. The obvious question do you use/understand ASL? If not would you hire/use and interpreter to interact with them on your behalf? Hopefully you can "solve your feelings of being trapped"...

    Deaf Heart

    On the face of it-strange that ASL interpreters have to be reminded of the concept "deaf heart". Oddly enough-this is the first time I ever read of the "term-deaf heart". What will I learn from Alldeaf.com next?

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    I can well understand the long time to just get started would cause "grave concern". I can't explain the situation in London as compared to Sunnybrook/Toronto today. aside: I recall reading the long time for processing patients for Cochlear Implants consideration- years ago. Wished I had...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    As I recall the appointment at Sunnybrook/Toronto was made by St Michaels ENT. It was 2 weeks. aside: at a patients meeting a couple of years ago we were informed that since 1985 Sunnybrook has examined 3000 referred adults for Cochlear Implant examination.2000 were deemed "unsuitable" -...
