I'm very proud of my cochlear implant. I was hoh at age 6 then went deaf 3 years ago. I recieved my implant right away.  I was never around the deaf culture but i did have other deaf friends. Being in college has exposed me more to the deaf culture and i have attended some events. Nobody asked if i wore a CI.  I cant sign. I read lips and speak. I was raised in the hearing culture and i'm still working my way into the deaf culture with my CI.
