Wish every insurance company would cover this, then the world would be a happier place!

[Dagens24]

This girl is really cute.

[DarioPausini]

10 years ago this was still impossible! I am really happy for her.

[emann43]

What would be the FIRST piece of music to listen to upon activation? You'd NEVER forget that song.

[thekingof8]

@emann43 Hopefully not Nickleback.

[welderman27]

get to the point that they will never have to use sign language again?? Will the CI help them that much to hear in there daily life??

[welderman27]

My sister is an audiologist and to be honest I really never really looked into CI until now i guess because a friend of mine his wife is deaf and seeing how everyone is now wanting a CI and how much it really helps improve your way of life. I don't understand how this person i know doesn't seem to want it. This amazing device would help out so much in there relationship.

I'm curious to know and I'm sorry if this a dumb question but someone who is completely deaf and gets the CI will they ever

[hdebese1]

Is it ironic that there is this irritating high pitched noise in the background throughout the video?

[redpillguru111]

LISTEN TO DJANGO Reinhardt

[warhead1180]

Wow im so proud of you and i dont know you at all :] keep up the good work jess [^_^]

[phaze101200oo]

Do you have the Advanced Bionics implant or Cochlear?

[cDrakeb]

I agree, you are very pretty. I hope your hearing improves!

[EvvyThomas]

Why are deaf girls always so pretty?

[grandsecretaryjohn]

hey nickatar2!

if you would like to chat, send me a message... i think we can do that on here!

john

[grandsecretaryjohn]

hey nickatar2!

learning asl is a great thing... i am a Deafened man (lost my hearing about 20 years ago) and myself and my entire family (wife and sons and my mom) all learned asl... it is a neat language and a great way to communicate .

i am now starting the cochlear implant process and watching some of this stuff because i am very frightened about this process...

i may not fully understand what you are going through but have been there...

[Nickatar2]

I wish i knew what to do for my eight month old son me and his mom are hearing and we are confused:(

[phaze101200oo]

@Nickatar2 Please talk to some people from advanced bionics or Cochlear Americas. I was implanted 6mths ago and the sound is perfect to me. If you have any questions just reply with a email address and I will respond. I wear CI on both sides and had both sides implanted on the same day.

[helpdonate1]

[djdonkey15]

your lucky u go and live life

[ItsOnBTV]

Whoohoo! :)

[gonzalo060375]

Welcome to this noisy world. Hope CI's were as cheap as a pair of glasses, and scientists could improve the technology to resemble the natural perception.

Hearing you talking must be so rewarding for researchers.

Good luck and keep improving!. Doctors already did their part, no it's up to you.

[saultube44]

Keep it up, you'll improve over time, don't worry :)

[samisyosam]

Deaf people don't want others to have cochlear implants because they think it's the genocide of their culture. That's the source of most of this vitriol against the technology. That and it's also very new technology. It's not perfect and you won't be listening to beethoven right off the bat... but it's something.

Think of it this way. It's a new option in life. It's not like anyone's chopping off your hands and telling you that you can never use sign language again.

[cdawg4391]

I'm excite for you. This is awesome.

[deafagent]

Good Luck with your life, if any happen to you and your CI then you will die in any way to have an accident. I am former CI and have a bad experience in my situation.

[jmhardman2002]

This is both amazing and impressive! I don't know you, but you are amazing. I admire your optimism and courage.

[emacwakeup]

i understand her perfectly...

[ng3but]

wtf with you hallmeg? she's just learn to talk, she's recovered from her deaf. hope you gonna deaf someday. fuck you!

[saultube44]

@hallmeg83 : idiot

[gonzalo060375]

@hallmeg83 we can't understand you, you think bad.

[dechetsdailybs]

Not if it makes somebody happy

[podum77]

yeah you're right but I really don't know if it is succesful or not???

[dechetsdailybs]

Obviously its successful if its made thousands of deaf/heard of hearing the ability TOO hear.

[podum77]

Good I'm glad it successful and it really up to people who want cochlear implant if they become deaf or born deaf

[dechetsdailybs]

Thats what Ive been saying this whole time.

Its not a waste of money if the people who want the cochlear implant are satisfied with it. And I was just sad that the Deaf/Hearing Impaired society tends to frown on it.

[dechetsdailybs]

Im glad you got the implant!

Its sad how some peoople in the community are against it
