Some of the audiograms with moderate or even mild hearing loss in the low frequencies but no hearing above 1500Hz are PERFECT CI candidates because NO cochlear implant currently stimulates the base of the cochlea where low sounds are received. <br />I have to agree with other commenters that you tend to opine about audiology without the necessary education. <br />"access to speech" is meaningless if the cochlea is too damaged to send intact impulses to the auditory cortex. In addition, your math is baseless. Amplifying sounds does not equate to understanding. <br />And you should really do more thorough research on stem cell "cures" for hearing loss. As a scientist and stem cell researcher I feel you are giving false hope and that you have been given false hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-24262459876070962332010-03-25T00:34:08.035-04:002010-03-25T00:34:08.035-04:00jstarrynite13, don't be a jerk.

I personally would rather have HA and their audiograms than a CI. If I could trade my hearing for their much improved hearing, id pay the deductable for their CI and ill benefit immensely from HA with their audiograms. Id also hear some sounds unaided.deafdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653461540973603928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-26479409694354077952009-05-06T23:34:00.000-04:002009-05-06T23:34:00.000-04:00Very detailed and interesting post! :)Very detailed and interesting post! :)Nabeelhttp://nabeel-ci.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7613875314868339925.post-8419218916521489752009-05-05T11:29:00.000-04:002009-05-05T11:29:00.000-04:00Then explain.
