Yup. Proof looks me in the eyes every morning, every evening. and she's in a class full of little deaf kids who use those same tools to understand their teachers and peers across the playground, across a crowded gym, across a chaotic classroom. They don't hear the same as a typically-hearing kid-- at times better, which is problematic when they are picking up the voices in the hall, the next room, outside the window as though they are right next to them, rather than the teacher -- but they can understand spoken words. It's not rare, as you seem to think.

Okay - I was not aware, but then again, you just basically agreed with what I had said that I thought we all agreed that not everyone could be helped with them and they do not work 100% for everyone. Right?

If CI users claim that they can listen to the spoken English like the telephone or cellphone or people who speak, then that would make some of the CI users who can do that but others can not listen very well. They will still miss out what hearing people or someone over the telephone said. So maybe some of the CI work but I doubt that it could not be 100% to understand perfect in order to be hearing all the way. That is what fishy about all this talk about hoping for the deaf to be able to listen and hear perfectly. Hum bah. :roll:

So back to the original question, A CART writer would be able to keep up with the play. It would be essential that they were given the script ahead of time and maybe able to come to a rehearsal or two before the opening night. Even if the script isn't followed religiously, they would be able to make sure it was understood. There is a way to have only a line or two of text on a screen above or below the stage that would work, it would take work and cooperation but it would be doable.

I would not recommend trying to set it up with individuals for each different city, but would look into having one person come with you on the tour.

Excellent suggestion. :D

(Though mind you I wouldn't attend that portrayal of theatrics :eek3: - ASL is not it either)

Benonang, this argument will never end, because FJ has never worn any hearing appartus' herself from what I have read, therefore she would never see your/our point. How can she argue on what degree or how well a hearing appartus works or not.

I agree with you on this one. You have a point there. :hmm:

Big difference between being impossible to understand spoken words with cis as you said originally and hearing 100% perfectly all the time in every situation as you now say.

Hearing people expect to have their CI users to be hearing all the way just like you and FJ. Hum bah.

Don't let them scare you away... This is going to happen in every thread. All one have to do is say the magic word: CI or ORAL ONLY

Just ignore it.

:Oops: Oh, brother, I should have thought of this and you are absolutely right that I should ignore this when they started complaining or arguing with the CI or ORAL ONLY. Then I will just have to ignore this.

:iough:

Yes, it is a shame that you had to turn this thread into CI bashing rather than just stick to the topic.
 
It's really sad that those who do not use the assitive device of a CI feel that their misinformation is the end all be all. I mean really how do these people come up with their views when they themselves never have used the device I bet it would kick them in the a$$ if they got one and realised how much the thing helps those who want/need it.

I agree. Why does a CI user asking for an accommodation have to mean that their CI doesn't work? I hate that. I hate that people also assume if a CI user chooses to learn ASL, people assume that they hate being oral or that their CI doesn't work. :roll:

You mean like a neckloop or FM? I've tried that before. Still missed alot of informations. I have difficult time keeping up with rapid talking. Can't press reverse either.
 
LOL I have lost alot of my ASL proficiency. And like Shel, I would most likely be distracted by all the nakedness, in a good way :naughty:. I would love to have a voice interpreter so I can at least keep up with the rapid dialogue.
And I would love to go to any performance that you are in PFH.

I was confused too. I just assumed she took a poster's question the wrong way when she asked if CI could use a voice interpreter. I think she was offended by that.
