    CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine looking for children under the age of 18 months

    I would say that it's still too early to conclusively say how well it'd work. So far, the initial results on lab (non-human) studies have been positive, but only time will tell how successful it really will be.

    Irish Sign Language

    That's pretty interesting, a lot of similarities in the alphabet! Though the F-G-H would definitely throw me for a loop for a while considering ASL's "F" is ISL's "G". :)

    Why is Starbucks' sign the way it is?

    Your ASL signing was easy to understand. I also watched your Auslan videos, and that was a little bit more challenging for me to understand. Actually, I'm not sure I understood much of it!

    Will cochlear implants be obsolete when stem cells comes?

    A lot of it depends on the medical effectiveness that stem cell treatment actually has. If it has to rely upon residual hearing for effectiveness, then it's not really much of an option for those who have none. Hence, CI would still be around. If it could regrow the hair regardless of residual...

    JClarke, thanks for posting the videos! It helps clarify my original question. Next time, I'll try to avoid all the confusion and post a video with my original question. :)

    Why is Starbucks' sign the way it is?

    I can't! I don't know what's right! :lol: Now, I'm imaging flicking the crown off the top of her head when I do the sign. Or perhaps it's the mermaid tails (she has two tails, that's what those things are on the sides - tails) flicking each other when she tries to swim. :hmm:

    Why is Starbucks' sign the way it is?

    The logo? hmm... I've been staring cross-eyed at the logo for a while, as if it were a stereogram. I still can't see how they derived the sign from it. I even read the article on the historical perspective of the Starbucks logo, it's an interesting read. Still, no clue on why the sign is the...

    Why is Starbucks' sign the way it is?

    Hi, I've been wondering... why is the sign for Starbucks the way it is? To crudely describe it, it's the middle fingers flicking each other. I'd imagine it had something with holding two cappuccino shots, one per hand, and and the caffeine jitters causing the middle fingers to twitch. I don't...

    What Ticks You Off (Most) About Hearies?

    Hm, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the word "nevermind". :lol: Though I am guilty of saying it back to hearing people.

    P3 Netbook vs z340

    I think you're talking about the sign for "Starbucks" (about 1:28 in the video), where he says ... 1) Starbucks 2) McDonalds 3) Panera ....

    Interpreter vs Real time captioning for upper level chemistry course

    In college, my brother favored CART while I favored interpreters. Once in a while, we would have the same class together, and having both interpreters and CART in the same class. They all work well :)

    Will I ever get used to these HA's ???

    Like Bottesini said, I'd be a little concerned about the italics that Bottesini pointed out. But, perhaps, it's an educational thing, where he is not aware of the loudness that the tv has, and its impact on you and your hearing aids. Perhaps he thought that you needed the volume? Have you...

    Moisture problem?

    Yes, that is true. Hydrogen peroxide is better.

    Moisture problem?

    It could be earwax in the tube too. You can use warm water and mild soap and soak the ear mold part, and it should help dissolve the stray wax. Don't get the hearing aid wet! And, dry it out afterwards, prior to use.
