@jett215, Hi Judy, Welcome!.! still feel relatively new to the list, having been on it for a couple of months. I also learned of the list from HLAA - board members of the NYC chapter. Where do you hang out? 🙂 If I weren't on the board I don't know that I would have heard of this list. How did you learn from HLAA? Your hearing situation seems to make you a candidate for a cochlear implant and reminds me that I briefly watched an excellent HLAA sponsored panel just this afternoon about cochlear implants. They emphasized how so many people who would benefit from them, don't have them. Has a CI been ruled out for you?
