Earlier intervention and deaf education could save ALOT of head and heartache later in life

So true.... until you acnoledge that many unilateral hearing loss lead to progressive and bilateral losses... [url]https://

Still seems like generalizing.... I know a few uni teens who would strongly disagree. Judging based on unilateral loss is as bad as saying hard of hearing is a small issue. It is too often minimized and or ignored and belittled.

WHAT!?!?!? Some people are jerks no matter what walk of life they come from. Honestly, you may get more attention or not from them but you will know more about their personality than if you didn't have them. Relax, and you'll meet/date someone really special with out as much weeding out the bad...

Not all need it, but some might. Yes they all benefit from accommodations but for SOME it might be beneficial to get the programming to use for times accommodations are not available. You can't generalize ALL unilateral loss, everyone is different

"Physical altercation".... what a laugh!!!! He threw popcorn.... no reason to bring a gun to a popcorn fight

http://m.kcbd.com/#!/newsDetail/24450693 I see this on says different ages than I saw earlier, so I just don't know

Hmm, you are closer so maybe local news knows more. My news says no one died

Yes I did, if you don't see what I see while reading the various posts maybe I am just too sensitive. I don't know how to articulate it

I see your point, and doctors do push... I have seen that. In my opinion if you don't ASK for it.... don't do it. Unfortunately, some parents don't make great advocates and just go with the flow. I push research and advocating hard. I tell people to make informed decisions based on their...

What works for me may not work for you. Why? Different circumstances, situations, beliefs, and maybe even social pressures. As I was growing up my progressive hearing loss was denied and ignored. I had no exposure to Deaf or deaf so when my hearing left me completely I was lost and floundered...

No, not you, hochi. It was supposed to be a general post to show I feel implant work for some kids but not all. I don't think we need a cure as much as I believe it is a preference. For example, someone might have a few books but I would WANT a library.

Cool, maybe when I am fluent I won't rely on them so much. Sometime I wish I didn't remember "normal" hearing. I think I wouldn't miss what I am missing. implants do not work for all children, implants are not always successful and should not be portrayed as a “cure” for deafness. Similarly...

I rock climb, parcour, and snowboard. I also motor cross but don't wear my baha then because the noise is AWFUL. limitations seem to mostly based on noise how ever contact sports can make the processor pop off so I use a teather

Again... unless she is using a soft and and prefers it I would wait. As I said those were MY daughters complaints....its not the answer to all. Mainstreaming is public school in regular classes. Again if she is doing fine leave it be until she is not. ONE SIZE NEVER FITS ALL
