Many months I come by and was “hear” with hearing person can sign language. One guy come to us and asking many odd questions that was so obviously to me. We stand there and listen to his comments on deaf and hearing side.

Okay, back to beginning when I met that guy and I saw his cochlear implant. He is obvious not make any sense but keep going. He asked many odd questions for months so this time I becomes fed up with him. I am pretty sure those people had been fed up too. We all patience with him asking those questions which clear to us. He is HEARING person, not deaf. Why?

Let’s tell you little bit on him. He is in somewhere level job he work. (not ask him that question because his disagreement with us) He been in deaf school all his life and went to University in New York that has deaf program there. He got his CI not that long ago….maybe about couple years ago or so.

Okay, now. One question for you. Why do those deaf people not want him to be social with them? Answer is…. He is one who has been distance from deaf. Okay, Other question for you. Which is best for him to social in deaf or hearing? Answer is….He been distance from deaf people. Both are easy! He think he is HEARING. He always stay distance from us and alone. He speaks that he is not interesting social with deaf people. BINGO!

One question he asked that I would laugh. What does my voice sound to you? (He asked one interpreter and I was stand front of them) She (interpreter) answered, Your voice is not normal like hearing. (I said AMEN) He becomes not satisfied with that answer so too bad. Our accents are varied with different sounds on volume.

Okay, my question for you. Why he keep coming to us? Is he lonely? Is he confused by hearing or deaf? What make him decide on CI and what is his goal? What is your opinion on CI?

Sorry to pour those words out to you.
