Looking for C.I. input...

Hello ASL friends...
I am getting ready to publish an interview with a woman who wears a cochlear implant and just loves it! I am grateful for her candid interview and appreciate her view point; but would love to hear from others on the subject. The interview I have involves a woman who received her CI as an adult and had gone deaf gradually. It would be a more informative post if I could get input from others like her but who do not love their CI; and also from those who lost their hearing before speech developed and/or got theirs at a much younger age. I would like to review as many as possible for comparisons.
Please send a private message to my email with your permission for my use on this blog.
Thank you.

Oh, and by the way, teaching the first graders the song has been fun and very challenging actually and I think we are pretty close to pure ASL with it, but have not had the chance to check for sure. At any rate, it's what we are going with and I am excited to post a video of their performance by mid June!
