Blah Blah Blah you think you know ohh so much about people. When you are one of the main reason's threads get locked here. And turn things that were never meant to be a debate but someone seeking advice and you twist things into such a way that it becomes a debate. Whatever jillio it must...

I think the one who needs to get a grip is yourself. This thread had nothing to do with children and you brought them up. THis thread was about Zack looking for support from USER'S not people that think they know what the device does.

HAHA jillio please your humor is too much.. I read what the CI users said.. and nowhere did they use sarcasm and using children as a scare tactic... or did they use the terms TORTURE OR SEVERE PAIN.

LOLOLOLOL. you guys just love to push people from the site that come here looking for people that HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH HA OR CI. Not people giving their .02 on what they think the devices do and dont do for someone.

LOL K. So your sarcastic post 3 pages ago was giving accurate information right? Yeah I thought so. Thats what bothers me. You might think it was funny but many of us do not.

AMEN LoveBlue. I don't understand it either. This is the HA, CI forum not the LETS BASH PARENTS AND USER's Forum's. They think they are adding something good here when all they do is run people off the site that come here looking for support.

Typos happen its true

I don't care if people see my CI. They usually dont even notice I have one on since the color blends well with my hair. Not hearing is more noticeable than the device itself.

HA's cost up to $5,000 without insurance covering them. CI cost me $45,000 but with insurance coverage my out of pocket was $1,400 for the first year of mapping and rehabilitation.

Yes and im sure you DRIVE OTR also

Yeah i chose to let my deafness limit me from being in the armed sevices or to get my CDL. I chose to let it stop me from getting those things.

Yes and having a metal rod placed in ones leg to be able to walk is any less painfull than a CI right? ohh and you can live a full productive life in a wheelchair also. But if your child needed his leg repaired you would wouldnt you?

Ok so it's not a loss? I wanted to join the armed forces but am restricted to because of regulations due to my hearing loss. How is that not feeling LESS THAN! sure society places these feelings upon some of us. That doesnt change the fact that its not a direct result of being deaf.

You take a risk walking out your door every time. The pain was nothing more than what a ear infection feels like. It really is not as bad as what you make it out to be. I guess your scare tactics work for some!

Has everything to do with deafness. I wasnt always deaf and never felt the way I felt when I lost my hearing. If i never had lost my hearing I would never had felt the way I did. how can you state its not a result of deafness..

Lol yeah the surgery is pure torture haha. K

I'm pretty sure I dont feel the same load of stress and sadness I felt pre-CI.

Anyway's i'm done here with this conversation. We have derailed from the OP. It just struck me as plain out rude for you to make a sarcastic remark about the CI when it had absoulutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. The Op came here seeking help with his CI not a debate about children...

kudo's for you to make that decision for YOUR child. But some of these parent's on the board are making decision's for THEIR child not your's. Where do you have the right to tell them their decision is wrong? When I or some of the others here never said anything about your decision. Not everyone...

Wow so. CI is bad bad bad... Well I function quite well with my CI and would be thrilled if every child could do what I do with my implant. Since you never experienced what some of us actually do. Then all you can go by is what you hear and not what you feel! I have no qualms with people...
