One thing I am puzzle about how much hearing loss would a Deaf person be able to qualified to get CI? Some Aders says that a person can get a CI if he/she has a severe-profound deaf with a 80 to 90 percent hearing loss or totally deaf. To me that is impossible for a Deaf person to be able to hear with CI whether a deaf person was born with it. If late deafen, then it might be okay to try the CI with a 40 to 55 percent hearing loss. But for a totally deaf born that way, it is impossible to make a person hear because of the nerve between the ear and the brain. I don't see how a totally Deaf person can hear the sounds or pick up the sounds (words) like that. A surgeon cannot operate like that. This is totally different ball park here. I think with the late deafen like 40 to 55 percent hearing loss or lighter than 40 percent hearing loss would be qualified to use CI to be able to hear again. That would be much better than have the profound deaf person to get the CI. It does not make sense at all. I don't believe that at all.

[QUOTE="Bebonang, post: 1132403, member: 13737"] One thing I am puzzle about how much hearing loss would a Deaf person be able to qualified to get CI? Some Aders says that a person can get a CI if he/she has a severe-profound deaf with a 80 to 90 percent hearing loss or totally deaf. To me that is impossible for a Deaf person to be able to hear with CI whether a deaf person was born with it. If late deafen, then it might be okay to try the CI with a 40 to 55 percent hearing loss. But for a totally deaf born that way, it is impossible to make a person hear because of the nerve between the ear and the brain. I don't see how a totally Deaf person can hear the sounds or pick up the sounds (words) like that. A surgeon cannot operate like that. This is totally different ball park here. I think with the late deafen like 40 to 55 percent hearing loss or lighter than 40 percent hearing loss would be qualified to use CI to be able to hear again. That would be much better than have the profound deaf person to get the CI. It does not make sense at all. I don't believe that at all. :confused: [/QUOTE]
