I’m am also bi lateral cochlear implant so I do hear with a hearing device attached to the side of my skull, just like Rush Limbaugh, although Rush has just one implant..

So, my 20 year old daughter is Deaf and I’m teaching her how to drive. She is a good driver, very careful and meticulous. I know, intellectually, she is doing everything her sisters did, and often better, but it makes me very nervous. She’s a whiz at the parallel parking. I found an Army vet in Harrisburg, PA who gave her lessons as he likes to work with people who use different languages. He had confidence in her and taught her just by pointing (she is an ASL user). She had a good foundation with me, and he helped further that along. She should be getting her license this summer after she returns home from NTID. She is definitely ready.
