again
As of yesterday I am a brand new member (hearing though...) of this message board!
Please read my Visitor Messages first to understand why I am asking those questions 
- if you want to know that is...
Would love for somebody to help me with the following questions:
1. Can a person be deaf since birth? I guess the answer would be yes…
2. What could be the reason(s)?
3. What kind of hearing loss (level) would my character need to have in order to have CI? (As far as I could figure out there are people out there who can’t get any but I didn’t understand why/what the cause is)
4. What does it mean when somebody signs and they say they are …% perceptive, etc…?
5. If my character is deaf since birth, would she be able to learn to talk?
6. If yes, how well? I take it, it would be difficult to learn how to talk and pronounce the words if you can’t hear them on your own…
The more I keep going with my story, the more I wonder what I got myself into – haha – and the more questions come up!
*poor me*
Thanks in advance!

PS. I'm sure more questions will pop up soon
