I need to make a comment about Nick Martin. His sign language skill is sloppy and unskilled. I had a hard time following him. I have a strong feeling that you need to evaluate anchors' signing skills before they become anchors.Thank you,Doreen Solar, VA

I wish u people who inform news like thisalso to the hearing public as well. Hearing people need to know about this too and sending video without telling hearing people who do not know sign language needs to know what this is all about. In the future pls have a print out for the hearing people to know so that their child is protected from defective cochlear implants. Bionics u go down....

hey, everyone! stop it! myself, im profoundly deaf and who used power deaf culture and believed to use asl as our primary language. we are deaf family, too. i got ci implanted by ab, too. they are truly loyal wonderful company. ci provide 3 different co. ab is only ci maker in usa. lets go usa. back to subject, i cant hear my ha at all, not even digital ha. they failed my hearing level. what do i do next ? force me to get ci. guess what. i loved it! i can play sports except fight boxing. of course they are truly dangerous sports. anyway, my deaf son also used ci before me. i learned it a lot from him. he really succeed so much and still whip my ass cuz he used to it. anyway, my wife still use ha and i dont recommed her to get ci cuz she wore ha all of her life since she was 2. not me. ci for adult are very difficult to use. ci and ha are so difference. not recommed for every older adult unless they wish to continue hearing. what's more! they are no longer infect menegits anymore. i got shot prevent from it. i must have once shot every 5 years. not a plm. in fact, i hear 25 times better than ha. i really am so happy with it. it caused my speaking voice stay stable, not high, not low. perfect stable. i got another deaf daughter. she is 15 months old. we are not sure if we may implant her cuz she responsed her hearing level with ha very well. we respected her but not my son. he failed with ha like me. son like father. lol. sigh. im sorry to say that. nsn is full of bs! thank you.
