I know it is not easy for you to understand why you happen to be deaf after so many years of hearing perfect. That is why I thought maybe you still find the courage to understand your deafness and how to cope with it. You are never sorry for what you said but that is our blunt way to tell you the fact that you can not expect to have a normal hearing like CIs.
Maybe you can become a candidate for Cochlear Implant if you decide to have one. Having an Cochlear Implant is not that easy especially under the knife (surgery). Also the surgery really cost wallop of dollars and you might try getting some kind of health insurance to cover the cost of CI. On top of that, you have to buy expensive equipment to go with your Cochlear Implant including the expensive batteries. That is why we think that the Cochlear Implant companies are trying to sell to the hospital and to the unaware parents of deaf babies and children. We as a Deaf Communities are pretty upset with this attitude from the CI companies. So go research and see what you can find a way for you to hear some sounds in the hearing aids or CIs. Glad that you are back. Sorry for us being so blunt with you but we have been trying that for many years explaining to the hearing people and many of us, Deafies and Hard of Hearing, are shocked when you asked the question like that.
