I was going to suggest, if you don't mind, pray to God daily to help your father realize what he is doing and to help you know what to do to talk to him about what bothers you. Your father must be very "old fashioned" in his mind, so it's hard for some people to change that because they did...

Well, at first I couldn't figure out what the heck it meant. I am not impressed with the poster, and I am sure many would be confused. Now I see what it is, it's the electrodes inside the ear, but hello? ha ha ha ha ha. It's a laughable poster. I would have liked my mother to implant me as...

[B]Thank you so much!!!!!!! I like that one especially that it's animated! Lots of hugs and kisses!

I want a hello kitty avatar. :tears:

Hi DeafScuba. My English speech improved and anyone understands me. I feel confident to voice for myself about anything because before I used to be skeptic if they'd understand my English. Music IS enjoyable. Hearing aids didn't make most music enjoyable, but now it is. When you compare...

Where can I find a good 100 x 100 avatar?! How can I reduce them to make it fit? I need an AVATAR!

I also think that you should not only provide problem ci but prelingual ci yahoo forums because I don't think many will take you that serious if you just provide the negative side. I understand what you wanted to do, but you know the results can be good too which we all want to know also.

It may be an individualistic success, but so are other devices out there. What exactly makes the CI so different from other devices? There are other ones out there that I can't specifically name that are just like the CI. The Deaf Culture just makes it so individual. Why is it that the deaf...

I would much rather focus on raising my children to be civilized adults rather than have someone just to relate because of my deafness.

I had insurance through my mother when I was a student even when I worked. It all depends on your income, I believe. Medicaid can become your secondary insurance while the one from your work is primary. So what ever your work insurance won't pay goes to Medicaid. You're lucky to get this...

No, I don't believe in that. Why give your good sex to a loser who is your ex when you could give it to someone who will respect you?

I never thought it was safe to throw pills in the toilet. I think I did once out of curiosity, but it felt really wrong. I think people originally did that to get rid of it entirely...I don't know.

Yeah, I am sure maybe some are paid to rave about CI and the CI company advertise things as products. I hate that to which is why I do research, but...so are any other devices and pills out there? It's sad, but true. Then again, why focus on the past? Every device has made it's good and bad...

So it's been a topic on t.v. and NewsWeek Magazine. What are your thoughts when 80 percent believe it's wrong, yet they still cheat? Boy, I just sometimes do not want to get married. I believe in waiting a long, long time before getting married. Also, why do the other 20 percent think it...

I do have the idea that some hearing people want to turn off their hearing. They don't have any clue what things they take for granted. I am sure if they were deaf for a day or a week or a month, they'd want to go back. I feel some weights lifted off my shoulder as part of my CI. It's an...

Yes, my hospital say that they can provide financial assistance if you have no other ways of paying for it providing your income. I qualified but because I had Medicaid, they paid for the rest of the cost. DeafScuba, have you tried getting Medicaid? They are real lifesavers when it comes to...

My mother is a single mother. We asked my father to help cover the cost of the CI. I watched my mother be stressed about how to pay the rest of the 20 percent that we had to cover. We learned too late that Medicaid could have covered the rest. We are not very, very, very poor people...

Yes, but did they succeed despite their great hearing aid use? That's the thing that matters. I know a few who are opening up doors for certain people, yes. The point that matters is that if you improved MORE with the CI. The CI can sound more natural than HA and give you more crisper and...

How do you know that people are not doing their research? It's their problem to research all sides. I hear everything, but I was smart to do research on both sides. It's their responsibility. If they say it's wonderful, then it is. They are talking about themselves. I am not sure that they...

Where did you hear this information? Do you realize that this could be a rumor or a misunderstanding? I have read and read and never heard of anyone dying from a CI brain infection. The CI surgery DOES NOT involve the brain. It's the ear alone that they must open through the mastoid bone...
