Actually I think it's more than theoretical. Otherwise why would he be wanting me to use a hearing aid in that other ear to get it ready for a CI? I think the nerve stimulation is also part of it. Since the stapedectomy it IS getting more stimulation than it was getting before. That ear is...

Hoichi we've butted heads over this plenty. FYI I was pressured by no one to get a CI. I only ever even had one Audi even mention CIs to me. I pursued getting implanted. Me

In most cases these are adults coming to ask other adults questions. Then they get ran off by aggressive narrative about deaf babies and the "eradication" of deaf culture. Which isn't happening bye and has fuck all to do with the question in the first place. What kind of useful discourse is...

Oh I know, I may not have been around lately but I've around a long time. Me and hoichi have agreed many times, and sometimes everyone else disagrees with us. But in matters of CI he becomes a giant bag of dicks.

I don't remember, he was basically like we could do either. Pretty sure he agreed with me. He wanted me to be wearing a hearing aid in my left ear before we go to implant it so it can get used to the stimulation. Considering that, I'd have to say my feelings on that are correct, otherwise why...

I'm doing fabulous thank you ;)

Hoichi, has anyone ever told you you're a giant bag of dicks? Just curious

Hello, hopefully the OP visits again after all this useless bickering.......but I have progressive as well. It started 21 years when I was 20 in my left ear, and when I was 26ish in my right. I am now no response, no hearing left at all, whatsoever. During the course of its progression my left...

24 months!!! Wow!! But congratulations!!!!

Surgery 7/28/15 I was activated 8/12/15. Soooooo almost 7 months.

Congratulations!!!! I'm not much of a migraine sufferer so I have nothing to add there sorry. I just came in to say whoo hoo!!!! Good luck on your journey. I will say in the beginning when I was not used to the stimulation every time we did a new mapping I'd get a headache. But it wasn't...

You have to register, you can't just show up at the polls with ID and not be registered. That's just when you can register. Oh it's late, I'm tired, I don't think most states accept school ID you have to have state issued IDs as far as I know.

My son is excited to vote. He turns 18 on Nov 1st. Here in Texas if you'll be 18 by the Election Day you can register 2 months before your birthday. So we'll be registering him Sept 1st. He can't vote in the primary, he's bummed about it :)

I did some more poking around and I'd have to say no, deafness is certainly not neurodivergent. They are neurological disorders, basically dealing with the brain and nervous system-that's what neuro is. Tourette's, autism, epilepsy, dyslexia the autism spectrum are examples. Deafness does not...

Oh I've made my final decision, hell I was crossing all my fingers and toes that my choice would run. I've been following this person for awhile, and wished I lived in their state just so I could vote them in the Senate �� So yup, I've been 100% since I found out they were in the running.

It was hilarious!!! LOVED it!!

:laugh2::D

Thanks guys!!! had a busy day at work, did birthday cake and about to leave again. Going to see Deadpool in a bit. Great and busy birthday today!!!!

Yes he is!! Tyrion is my favorite character ever written!! I even bought the book of Tyrion quotes :D It's not that I gave up on the show, I gave up on cable ;)

Even in the books it's not John Snow's fate is up in the air. I'm pretty sure that's the very last scene in the last book. I don't think he's, which is crazy since GRM kills every dam body, but still I have a feeling there's bigger plans involved for him so I don't think he's dead. *winces* Of...
