I don't mind to take a CI in future. I want to hear my dad's music tapes. He had passed away when I was 15. I used to anti-CI in High School. I made mistake for myself. I suppose to get an implant when I was young kid. My dad said waited until I am grow up to make decide. I am not going to destroy the deaf community. I wish they would respect my choice to take an implant. I want to hear world sound. After I get them. I don't care what my classmate from High School think about me. That's ok for them to reject me. It obvious they are jealous! My husband is hearing. I just want to hear the music and everything. My HA is not help me to hear a sound like CI. I am poor at speak. I want to learn speak to communicate with my family and friends. My hearing friends do know sign languages. They love to communicate with me. My 3rd cousin has implant. It help him a lot.
You can tell me about your experience with CI in deaf community or hearing community. I am curious.
