Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Lee, I think no matter how well you do with a second language, you always remember more and understand more in your primary language. Since signing was your first language, then it stands to reason you would remember more if you saw it that way. So, looks like you'll have to let people know that everyone with a CI doesn't understand the same way. And MANY people without a CI need interpreters, too. Time to fight the good fight! The other day, I saw a post in Facebook in which someone wrote that her church does offer ALD for the HH and CI. I asked if they offer interpreter and this person said that everyone that have CI don't use it. Boy, I didn't want to argue! I am one of few who are still dependant on signing because I am not able to retain what I heard. What I am saying.. I can hear and understand but forget what I heard few sentences later. The audi told me that he think it was because I spend around 45 years being a visual communicator. It does make sense, but then, it could be my short term memory deficiency that was caused by lingering TBI from car accident 11 years ago. Either way, the point is,,, there are some CI who for one reason or another are still using terp even though they can hear and understand. Thank you for letting me vent, Lee ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! http://www.juno.com/freeemail?refcd=JUTAGOUT1FREM0210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just the person I wanted to talk to. I've had the N5 upgrade for 4 weeks now. I found out yesterday, when a CI friend came over to look at my remote, that my audi has my sensitivity at12 and the programm is locked, so I can't change it. My friend and I have the same audi and his can be changed, he was only on 6 and he lowered it to 4. what does the number mean? I've always had a problem with backiground noise, so I'm totally astounded and ticked off at my audi. Trish Myths are still floating!
