Nice I found this forum finally had time to look exactly for this!

Interesting how in your friends with CIs you saw verbal language did not always result. I'm curious about that stuff!! How many friends do you have with CIs? How many use ASL? Both? Spoken language? It's true though, because how is that I am really smart because I use verbal language and not ASL? I know I have been told that my whole life, but I've often thought, what does that person really know? It might be just their way of saying "that's cool" but they have to understand ASL, the language itself, before really say that.

I just saw your article! wow, lots of time and energy and heart into it! You have get into the schools you want now, hope you do!!!

This is excellent that you shared this on this site since I am going into audiology. You wrote interesting things, about meeting one person with autism and that does not represent the autism community as a whole. I agree because people who are deaf or hard of hearing, there are some many different people. Very interesting because not one person will ever represent a community. True too about how the audiologist office would be the first place children on the spectrum would be going to.because they may have an assumed hearing loss. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of lights and touching and differences.

I just saw this thread now!! How awesome other people have seen it now since October! You go male minority! Who knows maybe in few months there will be other audiologist with CI's that pop up?!?! You never know :)

Hi North of Border, I am in shock that I read your post here. Very good warm feeling that someone else is doing what I'm doing! I finally got to hear with CI's and contacted the audiology program in the my area to let them know I was ready to apply. I explained what happened to me and i knew of one with cis himself. So I was motivated! Now I really wish you the best luck with your 4th implant! Which program are you applying to?
