    Arizona governor signs immigration bill

    I agree with you Jiro ! This came to my mind when I heard this TV! There are a lot of cops that love to abuse their power! % is quite small and you are going to have good and bad anyway. If you want to see abuse of power look at our government! The key word is "illegal" and as far as...

    Well I know she has been to Beijing and her American name is Sandra Xing Phelps She came over here about 18 years but only full time last 5 or 6 years. Before that 6 months here and then 6 months there. With all the people in China it would be a real ??? if you did know her. No she is not deaf...

    Adjustment to late onset deafness

    Mrs.Moose; first I haven't read all the above posts which I probably should before I open my big mouth. you are not the oldest one here by a long shot. I'm a young 78 soon to be 79 and CI about two months ago. I'm sure there are a lot of places you could go but I highly recommend the Arizona...

    Idiots are a dime a dozen....

    I guess my wife just gave the simple answer to the ice and water in/on oceans raising! She said have them do simple experiment, take a glass of water full to the top with or with out salt and put in freezer. If you put salt in it you will have to lower the temperature in order to solidify it...

    Idiots are a dime a dozen....

    I guess my only comment is that yes we have climate change and yes some times it increases and sometimes it decreases. We have had what, 4 ice ages in the past? How in heck could we have 4 ice ages w/o some kind of warming in between? and yes all the pollution we are putting in the air now...

    popping sound in unimplanted ear

    Well I've had mine on for about 6 week now. Never had the popping sounds in either ear. My CI is in the right ear and left has ha. My first activation appointment was two hours and when done I could hear sounds but not really identify at first. In fact I was afraid it was not going to work at...

    When do you put on your aid(s)/implant(s)?

    Most commercial airliners are pressurized to 3 to 4 thousand feet so if you can drive over a mountain that high you are good to fly. Of course there is the danger of loss of pressurization but that is rare. Diving on the other hand is a different horse. pressure doubles every 33 feet. Probably...

    Between the following 3 cochlears...

    Well I still have all the low tones and then some as far as I'm concerned. DB is sound pressure and not frequency or cycles per sec. 3 db being about the smallest change a normal person with normal hearing can perceive. I enjoy music very much and still do even more now but have to say...

    Arctic sea ice extent nearly the same as it was back in 2003

    Sure hope we are having some climate change! Seems to me we have had several ice ages so climate must have warmed up and cooled of in the past as I'm sure it will continue to do in the future. Have to give Gore credit where credit is due, he found a way to bilk millions out of society. Too bad...

    When do you put on your aid(s)/implant(s)?

    Fair said it correctly! if you don't use it your brain/you will never accomplish what it is intended to accomplish. I put mine on first thing in the morning and take it off last thing at night. HA is and was always the same. Face it, if you were a hearing person and never heard anything you...

    Implant Users

    Well I just have to stick my neck in here on this one. First I guess some of you would say late deaf? I've worn hearing aids for over 50 years and have had a CI active just over one month. First to those that were born deaf or those that were deaf very early in life, realize that those in the...
