Please re-read the above post and look at the picture I showed you which I got from a research website. It has nothing to do with my dad and everything to do with normal hearing in most frequencies. This is a stem cell thread, ill discuss speech scores further in my speech thread.
What is her degree of hearing loss and yours? Chances are you hear with CI better than she does with HA. If she does great with HA, she isn't a CI candidate anyway. This could be a reason why she's against CI and pro HA and pro stem cells. Another reason is she's saving her ears for something better than CI. I don't want CI either for much of the same reasons but respect those who made the choice(but not forced) into CI. Did you know about stem cells when you got CI? Would your choice be different if you did? I didn't know much about CI till 2008 and by then, there was talk about stem cells. I am happy for those with excellent CI results. She does not belong in Deaf community. I know I don't and have never been involved because I won't fit in.
