Have you ever seen that True Life: Im Deaf?

There is a kid on there who gets the implant and hes like 16. When they turn it on, hes sitting next to his mom and she says his name and its the first time hes ever heard his name said out loud and he loves it.

He starts banging on the table and making sounds just b/c he can hear them, its SO cool.

If this thread doesn't make your day better, than you suck.

Can these implants fix all deaf people?

I wish but unfortunately no, my lil bro has been deaf since birth and my folks have looked into every possible option on getting him to hear but so far no luck. Buttt with new technologies developing hopefully something comes out that can help him.

This video is awesome though, actually made me a bit watery eyed.

Do you know sign language?

<------big language nerd, it has always interested me. I used to wait tables with a girl who was going to school to be a deaf teacher and knew how to sign.

Sadly, no.

It depends on the individual deficiency locus.

Every once in a while I get reminded of why human beings don't completely suck.

Some cleft lip/palate repairs come to mind.

A mother seeing her son/daughter minus facial deformity for the first time is not as dramatic as these youtubes, since postop time is sometimes not esthetically pretty and often stressful. A few weeks later and it is Niagra falls though.

Hopefully he will be able to hear in the near future. Sight and Sound are things no one should have to live without.

      I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
