I have no idea, this is probably a question for her surgeon and Audi. Have you asked them yet?

Have you ever had full hearing? Or did you start off with say mild or moderate and it progressed from there?

If you've had a history of effective hearing aid usage, actually able to distinguish speech, you probably will. But it's still a good a idea to set you expectations low. The root of all suffering is expectation. So expect work, otherwise you may be disappointed. If you're expecting it to be a...

The whole reason I got a cochlear implant was so I wouldn't have to lip read..........

You've already had one? And if yes they weren't worried about you having too high expectations? That's usually the "why" for one.

If the surgeon says it's fine, it's probably fine. You probably won't feel anything. I've only flown once since my surgery, well I guess that's twice really flight there, flight back. I did have pain in my ear real quick, one stab, on the decent in Boston, but nothing on the decent coming back...

Exactly what Jane said, the papers you guys have submitted for our perusal make claims, like the majority are have educational problems, aren't successful at oral etc etc etc. You, Jezie and Hoichi, repeat those claims. But if you bothered to read the material they're citing to make such a claim...

And even if you won your quest for prelingually deaf children NOT to be implanted the same problem would still exist, just with hearing aids. CI is not the source of the philosophy. Even your own sources stress the importance of oral communication. Because as you like to say we do not live in a...

THIS is exactly why you can't see the big picture. It's not "CI" philosophy, it's not philosophy particle to CI. It is the same for hearing aids. The reasoning behind focusing on oral language instead of sign is the same. And it wasn't new, the philosophy was already in place before sign. If...

Nice!!!!

hmmmmm what would they mean by bilingualism here??? Oh yeah teaching to communicate through oral language and sign. I broke it down to demonstrate to Hoichi that his own source is includes oral language as something the deaf should learn. I wouldn't say a peep to Hoichi if he didn't act like a...

You called it study, if you knew it wasn't a study why did you call it one? And why are you "correcting" me about something you got wrong? What she was doing wasn't research. She was using OTHER people's research to support her claims. I didn't dismiss the article at all, in any way, but it...

You post post incessantly I don't actually read all of your posts. Okay....your "study". It's not a study. It's an article, much like the one I was referring to earlier. In fact, the author and co author were contributors to the paper Jezie posted. So anyway, they didn't complete a study, they...

Citation please, it's only polite. How do you KNOW this??

My thoughts about it are there for you to read and respond. I couldn't care less if you don't respond to them or not. No skin off my back darling.

No I was implying that Jezie has a giant crush on you so she kisses your ass since she can't suck your dick. Well unless she does? but if so I don't wanna know

I'm not going to lead you by the hand you mental midget. YOU asked me my thoughts. I've already given them. If you're that interested go look. I'm not obliged to repeat it for you when it's all right here in this thread you lazy woman. Psssst I was insinuating that Hoichi is your boyfriend...

Ahhhh but did you notice that I said that that isn't bad? I'm just pointing out that it is to be expected that they're information is going to skewed to support their views. I also said somewhere between the two, the people who say how great it is and the people that say how bad it is.....is...

Yes, I used foul language, good eye nana, nope it doesn't make me right. Funny thing though, it doesn't make me wrong either hahaha what a stupid thing to say. Actually there's a source right here in this damn thread, tsk tsk your memory. So let me get this straight. I've already commented...

suuuure. It was relevant. YOU'RE discussing harm to deaf children......I'm not going to necromance a thread that went no where just to add to THIS discussion. It's not mental gymnastics that that's where you got your information from. You don't even realize Deaf were against CI from the...
