hey everybody. ask me all the questions you want :D I was born deaf, and got a cochlear implant at the age of 4. I am now 15 years of age. I have been one of the most successful speakers of all deaf kids. I was the 4th person in Utah to get a cochlear implant. I really enjoy wearing it. I am stilling using the same one I got when i was 4! It's amazing how awesome this science technology works! I'm so thankful for it. :D If anyone has any questions they would like to ask or would just like to get to know me, I'm fine with that. At school, I decide to join the groups of everybody else. I feel I am part of them, and that I'm normal. I can speak and hear them just fine. I have plenty of great friends. :D And no, I don't know ASL. I started learning it before I got a cochlear implant though. But quit, it was too hard! Ha ha.
 
Hey, im new and do you have any deaf friends?? Well i dont. And i go to public school in Arkansas, and i can talk REALLY good, lol and i only have one hearing friends, and i play in Track. Do you play any sports?? Plus, i love to dance!!!! Can you hear music, sorry that i ask you of that. Some deaf people couldnt hear musics
 
Welcome Gourleam/Andrew!

True that some deaf people cannot hear music. But both of you (cutedancer & gourleam) have CI at young age and I am sure you guys can hear things fairly well than most of us. I grew up wearing hearing aids. I know that my hearing isn't perfect but I am happy with the way I am. I can speak well and I learned ASL when I was 13 yr old.
