It doesn't help you much that you have a harsh personality.

lolol said the Mr Sunshine hisself :giggle:


But like more than a few "spread lies" about you.... I'd take a closer look at myself if I were you.

Oh please....!
like you don't know how spreading the false rumor works!
who are you trying to fool, mister? :cool2:


I usually charge $120 a session, but it's yours for free.


Even if you wanted to pay ME, I wouldn't be interested.

Be watchful of how you are presenting yourself, IF you truly want others to respect your positions.


This thread isn't about respecting my positions.
This thread is about setting the lies straight, sweetie.

If you can't even differentiate between these two, then what kind of therapist are you?
perhaps now you can see why I wouldn't even so much as
look in your direction...

AudioFuzzy - ever stop to ask yourself how come so many people got the wrong impression of you or of what you said?

It could be because you gave them the wrong impressions.

So, rather than yelling at everybody here and defending yourself in multiple threads - make a note to yourself to make sure you're clearer on your stances next time.

The way you spoke to deafbajagal - not nice at all.

you don't believe theme who! they will mistake and embrassment, careful your before think posts wisdom your think right! question cocern anytime make sure correct thread

Fuzzy, it's just the internet. There is no basis to getting riled up on the net, it's just a nice place to pass time, meet some new people and some small talk.

Drink some kool-aid and have a fun pill, no one around here is this harsh in reality. I think I've met probably at least 50-70% of the people here. :hmm:

Thank you so much for your support Travis :ty:


AudioFuzzy - ever stop to ask yourself how come so many people got the wrong impression of you or of what you said?

And you Caroline - ever stopped to ask yourself that maybe, just maybe
people DO NOT LISTEN to what I have to say, whether on purpose or not?

There is a certain group of people who share certain beliefs. It's no secret.
these people support each other, also no secret.
And also these people, like dominoes, when one say A, the rest say Aaaaa
without even bothering to check if what the first person said is true!

Just go back to the beginning of EVERY of CI- related thread where I am involved and count for yourself how many times I patiently (and not patiently) I denied being and audist to NO AVAIL.

Once you did that, then you can come back and ask me your question again, okay?

Drink some kool-aid and have a fun pill, no one around here is this harsh in reality. I think I've met probably at least 50-70% of the people here.

Sure, sure, I would love that. But did they, like they me, consequently accused you of being something you are not and doing something you didn't?

Like Ash345, there is a difference between a need and want. Living without sounds since birth is helping us cope with every day environment.

I did not have my first hearing aid until I was almost 9 years old. I don't know how I communicate but I get by pretty well.

This is very interesting to me, because as I am trying to point out in my posts,
my experience include sound.
And I value sound very much.
That's why I said, it is very useful to have sound. And if you never experienced it, you simply can not know what are you missing.

But okay, since I never experienced NOT having sound, then likewise,
I don't know what is that like, either.
Maybe I should explore that deeper, I never did, hmmm.

So it is not necessary to have the babies get CI so early.

Please read this really carefully - it may not be necessary from above pov -to get by somehow with little or more sound.
But from the point of receiving the best benefits from CI
it is necessary to implants babies.

I am honest I am experience I was 12 yrs cochlear implant I knew already become on my cochlear implant i tell you simply short my bio!

I knew on my cochlear implant is very risk!

I remember few deaf have cochlear implant put on babies ! I saw it!
 
Sure, sure, I would love that. But did they, like they me, consequently accused you of being something you are not and doing something you didn't?

Probably. I don't spend too much time in trying to figure out if people hate me for what I say or whatnot. :D

My perspectives come with a dash of realism, as in current state of world affairs. I'm sure not everyone has seen eye-to-eye with what my thoughts have grazed upon. Deaf, and I mean culturally Deaf are pretty straightforward with their thinking. Blunt. To the point. If you don't agree with a consensus made with a group, rather than fight back in a crucifixion manner and adding fuel to the fire, (I understand I may be in the middle of one ;)) it's got to be better to prove otherwise that you aren't. And yeah, by prove, I mean in all the other ongoing topics.
 
Nice side-stepping.

It takes months of analysis before they determine if an infant cannot pick up speech sounds with hearing aids?

don't they implant as young as six months? Considering many parents are unaware their babies have a hearing loss till about around age 1, i'm rather impressed that doctors and parents can tell a newborn infant has a hearing problem before implanting them at six months.

I can pick up speech with my hearing aids. I also qualify for a CI. So, apparently, the hard and fast rule that if kids can hear with hearing aids, they won't qualify for a CI is not really accurate, is it?

Exactly!!!!! The thing is....I don't think ANYONE here is anti CI for kids who are right off the bat canidates. There ARE kids like that. If their parents want to opt for them to be implanted.....GO for it. It'll make learning how to speak a bit easier, if they want to learn how to speak. But I'm with everyone else.
It is VERY difficult....to accurately tell how well a baby can or can't hear. Grendel and faire joure.....do you know the reason WHY kids were diagnosed so late back in the old days? It's b/c a lot of kids (even those with profound losses) still had hearing in the speech frequncies.....

Hi DD, in the US, you can implant as young as 12 months, acc. to the FDA, and the criteria is different, more stringent, for these 1-2yos than for adults. Also, a lot of additional assessment occurs after someone is determined to meet that baseline criteria to be a candidate. That's why DRphil occasionally brings up the fact that 60% of those candidates are ultimately rejected for implantation by his CI clinic in Canada.

Following are some basic criteria for initial screening for a CI, although each clinic / audi would take individual situations into consideration (these apply to people who don't receive benefit from hearing aids):

Adults (18 years of age and older)
• Moderate to Profound SNHL, bilaterally
• 50% or less - sentence recognition - in the ear to be implanted
• 60% or less - sentence recognition - in the opposite ear or binaurally
• Pre-linguistic or post-linguistic onset of moderate-to-profound SNHL
• No medical contraindications
• A desire to hear

Pediatrics (25 months to 17 years 11 months)
• Severe to Profound SNHL, bilaterally
• MLNT scores of 30% or less in best-aided condition (children 25 months to 4 yrs. 11 months)
• LNT scores of 30% or less in best-aided condition (children 5 yrs. to 17 yrs. 11 months)
• Lack of progress in the development of auditory skills
• No medical contraindications
• High motivation and appropriate expectations (both child when appropriate and family)

(12 Months to 24 Months)
• Profound SNHL, bilaterally
• Limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids
• Lack of progress in the development of auditory skills
• No medical contraindications
• High motivation and appropriate expectations from family

I AM anti-CI, but for MYSELF and am 100% glad I was never implanted as a child (didn't meet the criteria at the time, but still). I feel hurt when people close to me (my aunt) want me to get a CI or other applicable hearing-related surgery, especially after they indicated they and other relatives would like to learn ASL and Deaf Culture (I think they forgot about that desire and no longer plan to learn) and I have mentioned that I am using ASL and Deaf Culture and will not be lacking in such things as language, communication, culture, and community. I've had my share of hearing (not perfect, but still) and I feel I was satisified with what I had and don't desire more if I ever lose 100% of my hearing. But that is :topic:. As for people deciding for themselves, if you've done your research, stay informed and go right ahead. As for people deciding for children, I am very hesitant, but hope that at the least the parents are being 100% informed.

I see - "probably". That's the key word.
See, what happened to me qualifies as "sure as heck" and is, or at least - was, on an ongoing basis.

Of course, since you haven't experienced what I have,
I can see how you can easily adapt this light, cheerful state of mind :)

However, I can assure you that if you, like me, were again and again faced with false accusations stated as facts, you'd lose your cheerful and philosophical demeanor very quickly...

The difference between you and me: I don't go around caring about what others think about me. If you were truly concerned, its on the platter to you.

If I cared, I might be a bit nicer. But I've been told that I'm pretty nice. I don't know how that works, but yeah, there ya go.

And I see that the criteria is more strenounous then it is for toddlers. Still, we live in the US which is the land of for profit healthcare. Meaning those crietria can still be played around with. I know for example, that the US is seen as rather libral in it's implantation crietria.
 
This is exactly the kind of post that's giving you problems with people taking you seriously on this forum. Just saying.

First of all, like PFH being so EVER nice to ME ???
Second of all, like some people are being nice to me?

oh please, do you seriously expect me to be all smiles just because you are Deaf so you are always right
and no amount of correction on my part gets thru to you,
while I am not ever right nor believed because I am not Deaf!!
yet I'll must be nice to you while you can be an a$$ to me, sure.

If you do, you should have your head examined.

Sweetie, if people want me to be nice to them, THEY need to be nice to me in the first place.

YOU, Alley Cat, for example do you ever THINK when you write your annoying comments to me?

Anyhoo, I am done with this bickering.
Anyone who'd wish to discuss,
please, by all means - I am however withdrawing if this is not on the subject.

lolol certainly you didn't hear that from me :giggle:

Fuzzy

No... he didn't hear it from you... but he saw it from me... I've told him many times he is nice... he was one the first one here (where I live) who actually reached out to me, and I am very thankful. PFH... if I haven't said thank you lately... thank you.
