You didn't answer my question. I will answer yours tho since I don't evade questions. I am relatively happy right now and I have a severe stutter. I am probably feeling better now than I have in a while. I know tho that curing it would be make me even happier since unlike you I know its a disability. But that is good advice. I will tell my deaf neighbor she shouldn't take the implant since even if she gets to hear again, there would be something else for her to blame for her "unhappiness". Your truly give amazing advice.
