I’m deaf with a cochlear implant. I was implanted back in 1989 when I was seven years old, and I’ve had the same implant for over 20 years now. That’s 20 years of listening, talking, and relying on the cochlear implant, and I don’t know what I would do if my implant failed after all these years.

To get started with grassroots lobbying, you can follow NAD on Twitter at @NADtweets and the hashtag #newnad which is used by those to reference NAD as an organization. You can also follow NAD on Facebook as well.

Internet captioning has come a long way since I initially wrote about it on Dailykos yet we still have a long way to go in making internet media accessible to all deaf and hard of hearing Americans.
