I’m a late deafened adult. When I first lost my hearing I used tty’s. I would use the library’s tty or hospital’s tty to call home. I wanted to make sure they knew they had to have a TTY. Eventually I had a very compact TTY that I carried around. It’s easier now with texting, email and VRS. But no CI for me.
Hi, Melissa! I realize that you posted this video a very long time ago, but I was wondering why some people have 1 cochlear implant and some have two. I took a class in University, so I know that all human beings have two cochleas. Does that mean that most Deaf people have two cochlear implants?
This was great information and thank you for giving us a history lesson on technology with Deaf culture. Your stories were amazing. I remember working for a utility company as a customer care specialist where we took TTY calls or relayed the message on TTYS. I am learning ASL in a college setting and this has been incredibly eye opening. Thank You!
I'm so happy for these lessons you upload. I learned signed language many year ago but never became fluent. I determined to keep pushing this time and these videos make the process so much easier. Thanks oh so much❤.
Great interesting video, thanks. I kinda found out about that "hug" thing by surprise when getting together with with a couple of people I was meeting of the 2nd time. I was about to sign about nice to see them again and didn't have time since I was hugged 😄
Ahhh Deaf greeting with hugs are old skool and I love it. You got the authentic greeting! Back when there were many active Deaf clubs, always took 100 hugs in and got a 100 hugs out. :) Most of the time it comes with a Deaf voice (hummmm). Those are my favorites. :)
I had not known the name for the brain implant (ABI). I wonder are they using it more now a days? Yeah, its a confusing feeling that leaves me sad too.
@@melissacayton1111 Thnx for providing the videos and replying! The ABI is placed at the auditory cranial (7th) nerve root by pons base. Most on ABI are late-deafened and therefore not as likely to engage ASL. Those who do can value ASL, and very occasionally even refuse the ABI. The ABI started in U.S., but now in many countries, so more international. The sound quality varies, but generally more difficult than CI.

Love this Deaf culture info video!!!❤
Thanks for the love!
When I used to visit a Deaf friend I would shine a flash light into their window.
Okay, this is smart! We never used a flashlight, but now I am wondering why didnt we? Lol
With ABI similar mixed, sometimes sad, as CI, just came along later.

@@melissacayton1111 Sorry, meant 8th CN = the vestibulocochlear. 7th is facial, but often both can be affected.
