It was just a story. She had a CI for 20 years so it gives a view over time. Being one of the fist her experience is informative for CI users looking at having a CI over the decades. This is a discussion about CIs. Everything id not propaganda some things are just F.Y.I.
but such is the terror and fear of being deaf, they stick with them regardless, better to 'hear' unintelligible noises than nothing ? Believe it ! It may appear irrational to those who are deaf, but it drives all research, all hearing aid improvements, all CI implants, and most oral approaches, it's a real drive to eradicate hearing loss with this sector.
Plain info for people to digest. The Hybrid is for a specific subgroup of Hoh. Because it is new not many are aware of it effectiveness or ineffectiveness the article was just one of first study of implanted patient. I created a thread information purpose. 'the young lady was one of the first CI in my home state. So a news paper wanted to know how she was doing 20 years later. She could have been doing badly. Not everything is propaganda.

You just gave me better understanding why some deaf so vehemently reject CI.

Hoichi you're an idiot.
I referred to the sentence that MM2 wrote:
in response to that I've said if there is anything to fear is people who think being deaf is terrible, and it's those people who terrorize the deaf
-not the other way. and MM2 represent those people if she/he believes and supports that.
I do not support that. I do not believe deafness is something to be afraid of, nor am I terrorized by fear of being deaf.
I do not want CI because I am afraid I will go deaf and will have to go Deaf - I want CI because I grew up hearing
(even as badly as I did, but still) and my entire environment is hearing. BUT, if I'd have to go Deaf I'd have no pm with it.
So what the hell are you attacking me for?
Fuzzy
obviously you didn'tyes i knwo i read what you wrote. i have read it more then once to make sure i understood.
you have made posts on here repeatedly, not just to me but others, in regards to your support for assimilation. we have even argued about it, in numerous locked threads so, pls, come now
you are, and I know that by now you know you realized you made big mistake, just as I know you don't have the guts to apologize.im not attacking you.
obviously you didn't
yes we did, in regard to the clip "The End".
it was just a forum discussion, theoretical talk, not what I really think.
since we haven't had a chance to finish because the thread got locked, you have no faintest idea of what I truly believe,
only mostly my endless questions and hypothetical scenarios.t
ob
you are, and I know that by now you know you realized you made big mistake, just as I know you don't have the guts to apologize.
Okay with me.

The problem in positing on a sign-oriented site, is you aren't going to get unbiased advice regarding Hearing assistance devices.
It is really a failure to understand the strong need and desire to hear.
Like being deaf, hearing was their norm too,
It looks even at this topic there is an aversion by some deaf to accept any form of assistance to hear, even hostility towards it.have you however, personally, been even remotely interested in Deaf Culture, sign language, looking at being deaf, living as deaf
and other whys from the deaf POV?
not ask people who clearly would not have a CI as gift !
never did that stopped you for a minute to wonder "why?"
but such is the terror and fear of being deaf,obviously, if you live in an intolerant society it can be terrible burden,
but it rather says volumes about the hearing, don't you agree?
Is it based on fear of silence,.
or - is based on fear of being ostracized and persecuted.
Fuzzy
alright,
moving on
y
now obviously i posted a number of highly regarded works of all sorts of scared scared people..
in short...
I went back to look for that list and can't find it; so it must be in another thread. What I remember of it none of them were truly current publications.
