@Mysticvean. I hope you intend on making yourself comfy over on the Hearing and Deafness forum when it opens in the Soc section. It has been approved and all, just waiting for it to be opened properly.

If I have some things to say, I will indeed 'make myself comfy'.

Interesting that the title of this forum is 'hearing and deafness'. Well, I'll wait and post in the appropriate thread. (Briefly, some would rather use the term Deafhood, as opposed to deafness.)

That's a very interesting point, do you know what was different about the second implant that worked for her? Perhaps the hearing nerve on the other side was more responsive?

I don't know what the difference is this time. I'll ask her the next time I see her.

Very interesting thread and your posts are a great read in giving a balanced view

thank you.

As a newish dad, that is one of the best videos I have ever seen.

Haha!

I've never heard of the term Deafhood until you mentioned it to be honest.

I had an implant put in 8 weeks ago called The Esteem Implant by Envoy Medical. I was born deaf and have worn hearing aids from the age of 2, but hearing aids only help so much. I have gotten by this long in life by reading lips. This was taken as they were activating the implant.
