Check out Let Them Hear web site at www.letthemhear.org That is all they do, fight for approval for cochlear implants. Try them first before you go to your dad's insurance. E-mail me or go to my blog if you have any questions. <BR/>ValerieValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026325968244954541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596915427165444867.post-86847839171525298082008-03-31T22:58:00.000-07:002008-03-31T22:58:00.000-07:00Hey Alex!!That's crazy shit about tornados!! Never...Hey Alex!!<BR/><BR/>That's crazy shit about tornados!! Never been in one and hope I never have to, it's very scary I can imagine. I was in hurricane a couple of times especially Andrew back in '92. Ugh!!<BR/><BR/>Aw.. don't remind me about college, I don't even miss doing homework, ha! I'm sorry about the insurance that denied you. I think it might be actually a good thing because it gives you the opportunity to dig in more about digital hearing aids and give it a try while having ur dad look into about the insurance. I have to be very honest that there is reasons why I personally don't agree with implanting babies/kids for that reason. They need to try different steps to start with before taking a big step. So, if putting an implant on a baby and it doesn't work, it's like saying, you are screwed. Of course I still respect their decision and wish them best no matter what.<BR/><BR/>So, I'm glad that you would actually take a look into digital and if it doesn't work for you then you know the plan for the next step. :-)<BR/><BR/>LMAO.. I love your quote, "go get your hearing back and learn how to understand voice without ASL." That is exactly how they should be told! If anyone don't want to provide subtitles on their vlogs, that is fine, I still support them regardless but they always had to come up with lame excuses like protect their language, political reason, etc. <BR/><BR/>Providing subtitles do not take away its own language like any other foreign films. <BR/><BR/>Right on, Alex! :-)<BR/><BR/>-SGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596915427165444867.post-14610858478717730752008-03-31T21:01:00.000-07:002008-03-31T21:01:00.000-07:00Hypocrites: A person who professes beliefs and opi...Hypocrites: A person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives<BR/><BR/>That is what they are.
