CI users only

Your child needs to be taken into consideration first, not other people. Asking the child publicly is putting them on the spot. I would talk to my child privately and ask how she feels when adults want to have a look. It's a bit different if it's in situations like a child her age wanting to look. Children have a harder time saying no to adults.

That's called consideration.

My daughter's needs were, are always will be taken into consideration first.

Please do not transfer your insecurities and inadequacies upon my daughter. She has great self esteem and confidence and does not become emotionally and mentally unglued like you because someone has a question of her relating to her deafness. Also, please do not transfer and impose your lack of a relationship with your parents onto the relationship we have with our daughter who knows, while her parents are living, how proud we are of her because we tell her and and more importantly, show her daily. We communicate with each other. Sorry you and your parents did not but there are many, many deaf people who have strong, loving relationships with their parents and their family.
 
Wow...this was a thread for CI USERS but CI users know what it is like to be deaf just like deaf non-CI users do. Geez!
 
This thread clearly stated a question for CI users, it was thrown into the same argument as it always is. This is the only reason I said ONLY CI users! NOT to Censor you!!
 
Sometimes you would think people are running and sliding down a slip n' slide that was built from a series of graters.
 
Mod note:

Once again, this is getting really old, this bickering and trolling will no longer be tolerated. Please respect this thread for the CI users only. Go somewhere else if you don't have anything else to say about the CI user.

Not heeding to this warning will face consequences. Enough is enough!

Thank you!
 
I don't know why you non CI users cannot understand what the thread is about? It's okay you can come in and look and maybe share yourthoughts or what you have heard but to destroy a thread like this, it's not on and some of you, are actually the reason people leave AD, it's getting seriously old! Parents of CI kids, certainly know what their child is going through as an implanted child!

Do you think Frisky was asking "what's it like to be deaf?" I took her thread as asking if people have some kind of sensitivity to being touched at the site of cochlear implant surgery. :dunno:

Curious, anyone of you who have CI. Do you not mind if someone touches your head or hair where the scars position were?

... are you referring to showing someone your implant/processor and the location of the implant ect?

Frisky Feline said:
No, for example, like giving you a hug but petting your head or stroking your hair.

Not addressing Frisky's question. Addressing another's poster's claims. That's all.

this is hilarious.
 
it's threads like this, where people jump in and start bantering/bickering/debating/etc. (straying from the original post), that makes me not want to even bother posting about my own CI experiences whenever I get my CI. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to keep coming to AD, the way some folks around here act/react/respond. Just.... wow.
 
cdmeggers - to be fair, there has never been any attacks against CI implantees. Not that I've seen since becoming a regular starting at Easter of this year. It's bickering with hearing parents that does happen but not against CI implantees themselves.

Or sliding off the keels of sinking ships. A lot of sailors got castrated that way in WW II because of barnacles.
Sorry for going off topic! :lol:

I know. but the fact that someone makes a post about CIs, like this particular post, and then people coming in to stray off the original goal of the post and start up a fight/bicker, and get all out of control... it's ridiculous.
 
From experience: an ongoing circular interlude between "deaf militants( non existent of course) and "oral Latedeafen deaf/Deaf/DEAF" persons" with Cochlear Implants.
No I am NOT forgetting "babies with Implants"-usually don't articulate too well at their young age.

Interesting thought - does this forum react in the same way as actual deaf/Deaf/DEAF persons who are the "deaf/Deaf/DEAF community-supposed imbued with"deaf values"?
