Lifestyle will always trump genetic influence in almost any scenario. Eating more calories than you use will make you fat. Sitting around makes you weak. Practicing unprotected sex with untested partners and risky sexual practices will probably end up with you getting an STD.

This completely goes against the point of a school. You go there to learn some stuff and more importantly how to socialize. If people can't even give each other hi-fives they're just breeding socially inept kids and the lack of actual socialization will probably stunt them to some degree.

Most insurances don't. Tricare (government/army) does and maybe a few others that will pay partially in certain circumstances. Hearing aids are prohibitively expensive for most people with pairs that can easily cost multiple thousand so many people go through life without them because they...

The only people who would actually consider buying this are computer literate nerds who want to pay high-end games without shelling out for a gaming PC. Consoles have them covered already.

Next year's courses.

Although I'm pretty sure you checked for this (or you don't have a HA mold) have you checked for moisture in the mold by blowing it out with something?

I'm going to ignore the soap opera and the result psychological and offer some practical CC advice. Tell them that we can watch it with CC, watch it extremely loudly, or not watch at all. ^babyblue said it right.

Are you sure this isn't from the onion?

It's a program that you download and install onto firefox that performs some function within the web-browser. For example, Ad-block plus will stop many advertisements from loading onto the computer. No-script prompts you for permission everytime a website wants you to run script, such as flash...

Hillbillies are funnier.

It's a lot of self generated hype, but even though most people who already have hearing aids wouldn't touch it it's probably a great product for people from poorer backgrounds who can't afford high-end HA's and is probably considerably better than $35 "Sonic Ear 9000"

The problem is that more audist parents, the ones who are so eager to force/persuade/coerce their children into getting the CI, aren't going to be understanding if their child says "Hearing with a CI is still too hard, I want to sign" since to them it looks like they're willingly letting...

I use paper tape (some type of soft medical tape) to pad my molds when my ears are too big.

This horse has been beaten a few million times before on this forum :roll: just go look for it.

Supposedly you could it in ASL-text and then include an indented and italicized translation underneath it. such as "You-#J-E-N-Drive-Car-New-Red?" §Did you and Jennifer drive in your new red car? I don't know ASL though so whatsie.

The reason that it's so common among blacks is A. The continent it originated in (which is pretty much all black) is unstable, undeveloped, largely devoid of sex-education, and has very few medical facilities. Simply put few people there know how it's transmitted and how to stop it. The virus...

Very few resent the CI itself if they were implanted young, but their frustrations would likely be similar to HOH people, especially with the oral fetish a lot of hearing parents have (hehehe i made a funny) It's possible, but I'm a strong believer in chaos theory. I think that the huge...
