I belive it was 16 years ago, when she first got it. She also had a Trainned hearing dog even before lossing all her hearing. People that met her never know shes deaf, shes a pro. I've told people she is deaf after they have talked with her,they never wanna belive me haha. I can tell shes a bit depended on it now When she takes it off she seems to have a little harder time getting everything. She can't really talk on the phone. As for tv it's all about closed captioning, I need CC also or I don't get much out of it. I'm not sure how often she goes in for programing. I'll find out. We can also sign, but we don't use it much. My grand parents were deaf and hard of hearing and went to a deaf church. So growing up around that, you just pick it up.
