i use long time Sprint now and i use Nucleus 5 CP800 now use and you can add me for facebook ok make i like use both either ok i hear sound on sPrint long time i hear very good and when i use nucleus cp800 now i got pretty good i got 67 % and sPrint i got 97 % hear loss thanx
Thanks for reminding me about this on facebook. I know what a major turning point this was in your life, but I also know that you and I have had the same concern since then.....so many deaf-related jokes, forever taken from your life. In the long-run, it's quite tragic.
@sasmg I'm Connor, the guy in the video. Deaf people can't talk as well because they've missed the critical period of auditory/speech processing development during the beginning stages of growth. Typically, listening and speaking is developed from 6 months to 3 years of age. If they are deaf during this critical time, they are developmentally delayed as far as speech is concerned. Towards the other question, No the cochlear implant is a completely different way of listening. Check out my blog!
wow the CI sounds like it still needs a lot of work and adjusting... I wonder if its a bad idea to give it to someone who cannot help adjust it, like a baby or toddler? weird.
@Shareallicu3 Absolutely, the cochlear implant is still needing to be worked on and developed. It actually would be a bad idea to not implant the child as young as possible should the family decide they would like their child to hear. There are distinct programming differences for toddlers and for adults. I obviously received the adults programming! But to clarify, the earlier the implant, the better the success rate because the patient has time to adapt and learn with the implant.
Hi ! :) I'm 19 years old, I discovered to have a bilateral Enlarged Vestibular Acquedoct Syndrome. I come from Italy,in this country is little known..can you help me to learn more? ( sorry for my english :P )
@Mikymic91 ELVAS, is where the vestibular aqueduct is two to three times larger than the average person. It can cause balance and hearing disorders. There is no cure for it, but is commonly assisted with hearing aids and cochlear implants. This is the simplest way to describe what it is. Please feel free to message me if you have more questions.
I understand that there is a deaf culture, and I do not have anything against people who are deaf (I don't know anyone who would), but knowing how wonderful hearing certain sounds are and knowing how wonderful it is to hear music, it makes me sad to know that some people will never be able to hear. People who want to stay deaf have all the right to do so, but people who want to hear should have a right to do that too.
@kalijasin this isn't, in any way, an "attempt to eradicate" deaf people. If you weren't able to hear your whole life- and you suddenly had the opportunity, wouldn't you at least be curious? It's obvious that no one's forced him into this. Being deaf is "culture", yes, but cochlears aren't going to destroy that. These are miracles, not something to throw mud at.
@lilly12982 Definitely, it will take a lot of time though. He will just have to get a good audiologist and speech therapist who is willing to work with him. It's been nothing but great since I got activated and I'm still hearing new sounds everyday. It doesn't matter that he doesn't have any speech capabilities, I meet kids like that all the time. Hope this helps you, if you have anymore questions please let me know!
@lilly12982 My aural rehab teacher said that pre-teens to teens of that age are poor implant recipients unless they have the ability to speak. They often expect sudden improvement to their life, but if he has not heard for 12 years, the reality is that it will take time. This is not to say that you should not seek one out for your son, you should just be aware that this age is particularly difficult and both you and your son need to have realistic expectations and work intensively...
@lilly12982 You should check out the mosdkids channel and watch their parent meeting videos. It's my cousins, Abbey and Ginger, talking about Abbey's experience with her cochlear implant. She was 2 when she was implanted, but the info still might be useful for you!
Thank you for posting!
