>>Hope the girl will hear forever!!!<<

The deaf community will reject it wholesale. They WANT their insularity and special perks. They REVEL in their handicap and do NOT want it fixed.

I know this for a fact — my sister is a sign language interpreter and I have spoken with people in that community. They LIKE being deaf.

They don’t have to listen to rap music.

I hated being deaf..and I hated ear infection I got from the H/A mold in my ear canal all the time..was tired of going to the ENT...

They one time asked if I heard of COCHLEAR IMPLANTS.. I GAVE THEM A HISTORY LESSON I LEARNED FROM RUSH LIMBAUGH...

They set me up with UPMC in Pittsburgh and a great teaching Professor and medical surgeon. And I am now bilateral Cochlear Implanted..and love them...was the best decision I ever made..

I hear well and have hearing comprehension at 98%..and I'm older than dirt...had my first one in 2010 and my second ear done in late 2011.. I'm now 76 years old, creeping up to 77 come Feb.

I thank Rush for sharing his story of deafness to his listeners a long time ago..and so glad to learn he got his second implant as well..

HEAR NOW~~ HEAR ALWAYS... COCHLEAR IMPLANTS WORKS...
