sound like you treat your parents like $hit also...sad
and any ENT will tell you not to put anything in your ears other than your elbow!!! and I bet one day you also will be deaf..so enjoy your life...
p.s. wish your parents knew about cochlear implants..they really are wonderful for those of us who lived in a silent world..WE HEAR YOU NOW...becareful what you say...it can come back to bite you in the butt...
WOW ! Ok, yeah... you read me wrong.
I said that OTHERS treat the deaf like shit. Not I, I love my parents and you would be lucky to have a son such as I.
When I lost my hearing for a few days, I saw the effect it had on strangers. When you ask someone to merely repeat themselves they flip a switch and turn into @$$es.
As far as implants, I support my mother on her retirement, and dementia is difficult to deal with from all sides. My father has extensive technology in his ear, and his profession as a 25 year firefighter affected his decision to have a cochlear implant, although he and I have worked at the workbench to design and develop a subdermal hearing aid. We will probably continue when he retires.
So, Please take a moment to read into a post before exploding at me. Thanks.
