I was born deaf, I have SNHL and my blog explains all the reasons.

It's your choice to wear them as much or little as you want. If you can still hear sounds with them, then HAs still work.

You got your CI back in 1994? What db threshold do you hear with CI and what's your speech understanding? My parents told me when I was a young child, they attended a CI seminiar and the speaker actually said "do not get CI if you can hear anything at all with HAs. CI gave you very little...

Explain your choice. I would like to live forever(be immortal) because the universe/multiverse is infinite. There is an infinite amount of places to explore and things to experience and knowlege to obtain. There is infinite room for an infinite number of humans/animals/aliens/life forms.

I respect your choice. What made you choose CI instead of HAs or silence forever? I have my many reasons(explained in my blog and other posts) for choosing stem cells over CI. I hear to some degree with HAs but would love to hear better.

*shrugs* please be mature about it and stay on topic. I know you are against stem cells but respect goes both ways. I respect your choice not to get stem cells, please respect our choice to get stem cells. I find your jokes against the hearing(and those who want to be hearing) insulting. I do...

Gonna have to spend more $ on a/c in a few days. My parents said my bro and sis heated their apartment. I was like "what a waste" this is Gainesville, north FL, not Minnesota! :roll: No one in Florida needs heat, it never gets really cold! It starts to get cold in Tennessee and further north.

There's alot of things I can do, but hearing well is one thing I can't do. You know what it's like to be hearing. I am getting stem cells to become partially hearing. It would make communicating and understanding speech with my hearing friends and family easier. I would like to see what music is...

Living to 1000 years would reduce aging by a factor of over ten. In way less than 1000 years from now, we likley will find a way to reverse aging and achieve immortality(even if it means uploading your brain into a cyborg) Space is infinite and we aren't alone. There's enough room for all...

Many things can kill us. Tiny atoms of radation can kill us in fact! :shock: Computers and robots will take most of our jobs in the next few decades. They would take over the world for our own protection. This could mean an utopia then! We might be treated similar to what we treat our pets...

Usually, it's 70-85 degrees so I welcome the cooler weather. Those living a little further north are lucky in that they enjoy 50 degree weather all the time except in summer.

Deafness is not a disease, but it's considered a handicap in the hearing world. I am getting stem cells to improve my hearing so I can cope better in the hearing world. Those in Deaf culture consider their Deafness as normal as hearing people consider their hearing.

Get well and good luck with your CI. How are you doing with HAs now?

Then whoever finds a way for 1000+ year lifespans will be the richest person on Earth. Only those who don't fear death or are suicidal won't choose to live to 1000+

That's why I am not interested in laptops. Desktops are faster, cheaper, more reliable, easy to repair/upgrade.

My observations is that the CI hype started dying in mid 2009 when news started comming out everyday about stem cells. The CI hype would look like a bell curve with a peak at 2009, a rapid increase from 2005-2009 and a rapid decrease from 2009 and onwards. The decline will be more rapid than the...

My brain can also fill in the gaps, this is why I understand some speech as well. I used to understand more speech when my hearing was about 10db better. Let's compare degrees of hearing loss to speech comphrension. Everyone is different, some are above average and some are below average...

If you have time, id love to chat to you on instant messenger. Ill check your blog, check mine. Last time you said you were choosing to get a CI in the dead ear and saving your good ear for stem cells. Im not a fan of CI at this point, but for those who want CI, it's their choice. Stem cells is...

I havent gone to any black Fridays in a while. Last time I went, the lines were like 500 feet long and by the time I got into the store, most of the bargain items had been snatched up.
