I already cancelled once..and I didn't even want to go to the resheduled appt but I did and I never really noticed my hearing change I just thought it was my hearing aids being crappy..lol the only notable change is in my 6k-8k so high freqs went down to profound 105 dB. So we adjusted the aids and they sound much better. Some questions for you AD'ers...In the reflex section it says R Contra and L Contra and under the Decay (s) it says at 1K it's 5.6 for the right and on the left it says - what does that mean? lol
 
I think it means the % of your brain cells being sucked out thru the CI.
No offense, but that is what happens to deaf who become hearing.
 
Ok DDU,

What in gods green earth are you? a CI nazi? DO you even know that alica doesnt have a CI? christ man get a friggen clue! You say you are proud to be deaf so why berate your fellow deaf and HOH people if your SOOO into deaf culture? Man ppl like you make me sick!

relaxxxxxxxxxx. he's just yanking her chain.
 
relax? he did it in another thread. that CI's have nothing to do with the thread.
 
That is a new one-your brain sucked into a Cochlear Implant. Can one be now- called brainy in your hearing? How does one's brain get into the ceramic casing? Is this public knowledge re Google? Or this just a thought of DDU? As an ORAL deaf person- my Implant does bring "hearing" into my life now. Thanks to the neural plasticity of my brain. A bit later-11.00am- today will be at Sunnybrook-Cochlear Implant section- 3rd anniversary review.

Deaffy. Sorry you took umbrage to the posting. It was so obvouusly inane I assumed most people would understand the humor in it.
My soft lobs toward CI people include friends with CI's whom I tease often and with no mercy.
Remember feelings of guilt for leaving the True DEAF world are understandable. We Deaf forgive you.
 
LOLZ funny.. You realise I am still deaf.... Or did that aspect of CI's evade your knowledge.. Just because someone has a CI doesnt mean they are hearing LOLZZZZZZ
 
Good morning, DDU, *checks her hearing status* silence... yup, I am still deaf as post!. Have good day.
 
Alicia, my apologies. I misread your post asuming all the technical terms you used for what you do with your tin ears were in reference to a CI. Of course that still leaves you one or 2 tiers below we true DEAF. You will note in my baby pic that I used a primitive form of a hearing aid. That ended in my teens.
Hey inmate, sun up or down where you are now?
 
Your apology is accepted..however I do find it was quite rude as I've stated in threads that I have HA's and nowhere in my signature does it say what type of CI I had..cuz I don't have one... All I wanted was someone to possibly answer my question..

And IF I DID have a CI I definitely would not have accepted your apology as if I want one which I do, and I want to hear that's my business and not yours.

And how am I 2 tiers below "we true DEAF" ?
 
awww it sucks to hear that your hearing may have changed but it will get better overtime!
BTW, my audio report from 6/11 came in on a tuesday and I was reading it then I got shocked that my thresholds were stable!!!! (mod/severe with severe loss in high frequencies)
that's were I called myself a lucky girl :)
I also got a 96% on word discrimation score! *thank U lipreading tool!*
 
Safarigirl- how will my hearing get better over time? I don't get what you mean by that..deafness doesn't get better...

my quote, the better you get, the more you'll gain
once you get the CI, it will when it shows up on your audiogram!
(still learning about those thing)
but I'm a hearing aid user like U!
 
what apology

Well alicia the apology was put out without conditions. I won't hijack your thread more and turn this into a spat. I'll save that 4 another thd
Peace out
 
Mods - How much hate speech from new users is tolerated?

DDU, you are offensive.
 
DDU: I am not sure if I fit your "hairbrain observation being a true deaf", I don't hear at all-when my Cochlear Implant is disconnected. NOTHING! This condition has existed since December 20,2006. Shortly thereafter I triggered the process of being examined at Sunnybrook-Cochlear Implant section here in Toronto. Was operated on in July/07. Yeah I have read Harland Lane's drivel about deafness being a "cultural/bilingual" issue not a "disability". I understand he is NOT deaf. Okay DDU he can be a "honorable labelled deaf" that hears and uses ASL.More of his nonsense is a "Journey into a deaf world".In the public library.
You can read Beverley Biderman's Wired for Sound-a journey into Hearing. Toronto 1998. She claims to be ORAL deaf for most of her life- is that true? Like
her accept the label ORAL deaf- a factual condition.
Consider my user name's advice" GET REAL

What the F is your problem!? You have some issues that I think you need to work out in regards to your Deafness and why you hate other Ddeaf/hoh ppl who want to hear...if you have a problem with me or anyone else for that matter who uses hearing aids or CI's and have nothing but NEGATIVE things to say then I'd suggest you keep your mouth shut and not say anything at all. Your comments were not at all relevant to my questions or thread so do at least ME a favor and refrain from commenting on anything else I write on AD thanks!
