Okay, okay, I'll chill. But understand, there's a subculture of the deaf community that is resolutely anti-implant. They use terms like "genocide" to describe it... no kiddin'. And they never miss an opportunity to malign or misrepresent what the implant is or can do for people. Sorry, but having received a few valentines from that crowd as an FDA guinea pig for the implant, I'm a bit hypersensitive to that sort of thing. Do a google search on "Harlan Lane" sometime, if you dare. Really, these people have got to be heard to be believed.

I can pick lyrics out of songs, bop to my beloved early-'60s Brasilian jazz collection, This is wonderful news and you cleared up the mystery how someone is able to hear the sound of a voice, but not music. Bird song is a wonderful thing in the morning and I'm happy that you and Rush will enjoy hearing it.

I thought Rush explained that sound would come from the top of his head, yet the diagram in an earlier post says otherwise. Did I misunderstand?

I did one. Here's an interesting article that makes your point. I find it totally bizarre. It's almost as if some deaf people think of themselves as members of an elitist club.

Here ya go!
