GOOD NEWS!!! still praying for ya RUSH!!!!

[Aquinasfan]

Awesome. Rush and O'Reilly ruling afternoon radio. O'Reilly and Keyes on TV at night. It doesn't get any better than this.

[Texaggie79]

O'Reilly is like a vicious dog, that you keep as a guard dog. But he will just as soon bite you if you got in front of him.

Great news Rush. God blessed you and your family big time! Congratualations.

[The Mayor]

I'm looking forward to hearing him back on the air for his own report. Gotta love this man.

"I started talking to him and he could actually hear me," said David. "We carried on a conversation. I was just stupefied by it. It was amazing. He could actually hear me."

From personal experience, there is nothing quite like the sound, sight and touch of a loved one when those senses have been restored.

O'Reily will kind of flop on radio I bet. We'll see. It wouldn't be his venue I believe.

Good job Rush! What a miracle this implant is.

So being Monica Lewinski is real touchy and feely there should be an overwhelming change for her if she ever came to her senses! LOL

Great post and a good point.

[Exigence]

No one is more deserving. Too many people who faced this would have wallowed in despair. Rush rolled up his sleeves and got on with his life.

Watch out, Dennis Miller. Monday Night Football might yet have a prayer of having a real commentator rather than a buffoon.

While all this is great, he is still DEAF. He cannot hear at night when he turns off his processor and goes to sleep. Don't go thinking this is a miracle cure...implants are commonplace now for many Americanss who have never had hearing. Rush is blessed that his implant is working.

[ThinkDifferent]

Outstanding news, thanks for the post.

I'm not surprised to see this. His voice sounded great when he was on earlier this week. I suspected that they might have "flipped the switch," so to speak.

[Happygal]

Good news :-)

[SuziQ]

That's great news. I haven't been able to listen much this year because we're homeschooling two middle schoolers and I don't want to distract them by listening to the radio. So I listen while we're having lunch and they're not working.

I did notice that Roger Hedgecock was on yesterday and today. Obviously Rush was at the doctor's yesterday getting the implant hooked up. I have a friend who's son had this done last year. It worked wonderfully until there was a glitch in the workings of it. He has to have surgery again, but they have great hopes for it.

Good Luck, Rush and God Bless!!

YYYYYEEEEHHHHHAAAWWWW!! Ride'em Cowboy!

Great news!!! We said a few prayers for the Rushmo in this house!!! He is amazing.. he did very well considering his hearing loss, and you couldn't tell he was deaf during his broadcasts unless you followed him so closely over the years,. that you just knew his style. That is a feat in itself.

I'm so glad for him, so thankful he is getting his hearing back. He loves music. I can't imagine him not broadcasting either. Now he can hear his lovely wifes voice,..broadcast..and listen to music and the wonderous sounds we all take for granted.

Megga Ditto's to Rush!! ;o)

Watch out, Dennis Miller. Monday Night Football might yet have a prayer of having a real commentator rather than a buffoon.

Actually Miller is starting to do a decent job. Maybe hanging out with regular joes at football venues changed him.
