      @Dashrender Because I plan on hearing again. 8-)

      I can hear well enough to handle an emergency phone call from somebody that I know really well. Anybody else has my phone number with a note that says to text me in case of emergency.

      I am working on getting a cochlear implant (waging war with my insurance company at the moment about it). I know several people who have one. My Pop's has one of the prototypes stuck in his head and it's been running for almost 30 years.

      Once I figure out how to use it, I'll be on the phone again.

        Aww.. ok that makes since. My friend can't hear anything under a gunshot, so no voice makes sense for him.... and your setup for you.

          Yeah. It's strange too... Some deaf folks don't want to hear. They are perfectly fine being deaf. However, I used to be able to hear... and I want it back! lol.

          If your friend is interested in hearing again, maybe he should check out the Cochlear Implant or bone-induction (depends on the type of hearing loss he's got)... Like anything, they work great for some folks and not so great for others.

            I'll start a new topic about deafness and leave this to the OP.

                There is a big difference between people who know how to hear and miss it and those that don't know it. I have several dead friends who hVe lacked hearing either always or from before they can remember and few want to hear. Either because lacking a sense means you have no idea what is being missed, or because the brain isn't prepared to process all of that or simply because wanting that back would counter a lifelong fight for identity.

                  • SEO sales people
                  • Business loans availability sales people

                    is your cell phone listed on some webpage? or do you register your cell phone as you contact when signing up for things you're interested in?

                      As an one man shop I decided to use my cell as our business phone when I opened shop in 2003. The number is on all of our business info as well as online.

                        aww... well that explains it.

                        I did the same 14 years ago when I had a business. That's still the number I use today. Occasionally I get calls for that business that has been closed for more than 9 years now.

                          Port your cell number to Google Voice or RingTo. Problem solved.
