How Cool Is This?

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.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
