Well, If anyone even cares about the studies that have been done on this issue and doesn't try and make a fight between ASL and English, the wisdom is that the important thing is that the child "Master" a language, *any* language, or he will be in danger of not being able to master *any*...

Would you mind citing your resource for that information? Audiology, the professional journal of American audiologists, reported that 70 % of CI users were not using them by the early teen years. This doesn't make the Hopkins data incorrect. It may mean that point at which CI uses seem to...

Dennis, since I've been wearing a hearing aid almost longer than you've been alive I'll try and be understanding about your defensiveness, unflattering though it may be. And since my own father lost a leg to diabetes when I was a child and I fetched his crutches and his prosthetic leg and his...

That may be true and it's reasonable to consider. But hearing athletes at all levels of competition have always had a responsibility to safety. I think that a person who was, say, a figure skater or who was involved in a sport which required that they keep time with music, like figure skating...

I'd like you to cite your resources on that statement. SEE isn't a language. It's a signing system, artificially developed. Unlike English, ASL, BSL, French, and all the spoken and signed "languages" of the world, referred to as "natural" languages because the arise in the course of everyday...
