[nfb-db] Frustrated with svcreenreaders

[sheila]

hi don't you have to be profoundly or almost profoundly deaf for an 
implant? just wondering because my family is interested in this option 
or the future.

Check to see if you're eligible; you've got nothing to lose.  Risk these days is so minimized compared to how it was before.  They're being done every day in amazing numbers, and surgeons are more skillful; plus surgical instruments are so much more developed.  Cochlear implantation is not for everyone; but non-ASL DB need to investigate for sure!  Cathy Miller
