What bad experience are you talking about? i never one bad experience. I just feel bad for emma, and Do you think that it is important to listen to what the child is feeling about against cochlear implants?

I am asking for specific examples so that I and other members can take the opportunity to learn from it.

And please don't give me the hogwash that it's been removed, because there are thousands of threads and posts. You can surely come up with a few examples so that we can see what you are referring to.

Absolutely. If the child is experiencing discontent with a HA or CI over time, their preference should be respected.

This is what I want to hear from more people like you. I mean, it isn't that hard to respect the child's wishes from not wearing a CI. it should be a choice not a "you need to wear this, if you don't wear your CI then you're not getting your favorite teddy bear back until you start to wear it." its wrong and to me its mean. Why is it hard for people to admit that maybe, just maybe we might be right about letting the child decide for themselves if they want it?

They can share stories. We have a section here for them on the forum.

If they are found continually causing a ruckus with the members on this site, depending on the context of the argument and how severe the trolling is, it could be construed directly as a violation.

There isn't anything new in what I'm telling you, we mods have continued to made decisions on bannings when they have been seen as over the line. We will make that decision, not the members.

What about parents of children with HA's? That sub-forum explicitly states it's for "parents of deaf children with cochlear implants".

With the comment about causing a ruckus with members on the site, do you mean majority of members? Or is it if some members find the posts to be objectionable?

father was understanding. mother's grandma and mother weren't understanding. the fact that you didn't know this is the fact that your intention here is only to troll us.

why don't you do us a favor and do some research before you speak.

"will be" is future tense.... Just FYI "if she sticks with". Also indicates future tense. The fact that mom wants it and dad doesn't lends credibility to my "custody battle" theory......which is why I brought it up in the first place. :)

Ok, I had to come back here after hearing about this.

For early implantation regarding crucial auditory development (as you said above, Koko), I'd like to know what you think about our now-permabanned member, FJ, who was so vocal for years here on early implantation, yet if you read her blogs of even this week alone, Miss Kat STILL doesn't speak "normally." ("Why do you talk weird" is the exact question she was asked by strangers.) She doesn't use ASL (she was pulled out of her bi-bi program.) She even has a broken processor. How does any of this benefit the daughter, Miss Kat? She's stuck with 2 CIs that she got no choice in making to have, one is broken so she gets no auditory help from that one, she uses no sign for back-up, and she "talks weird" (which comes from lack of auditory development!)

Even I, with HAs, was faring better than that at that point in life.

Let the child decide when he/she is of age to decide. Thank you, Naisho, for your post about later-in-life implantation -- that was excellent.

The key thing is that her voice is intelligible. Kat didn't get her hearing aids until close to two years old when an audiologist discovered she really did have a hearing loss and that between 3 and 5 years she lost even more hearing so I can see how in her developmental years her speaking skills lagged behind with her progressive hearing loss. She got her CI at 5 years old and was able to quickly catch up. This story would be much different had she gotten it at age 1 or 2 years old. Kat is still young with years ahead of her with auditory feedback on hearing her own voice as she hones her speaking skills with help. What's fortunate is that her first language was sign language. She has one broken processor and in the process of getting another one with their insurance. They seem to be handling it just fine. Why worry?

You have your opinion. My opinion is that as long as parents make an informed decision then I'm fine with it. The earlier, then better.
 
CSign said:
Ok. So you are unable to come up with any specific examples so I can only infer that "parents asserting superiority" is not as much of a problem as some might believe.

:lol:

look at you pulling a victim card again. do you really want to go there? look at your friends. they're all in jail. that says it all. your own locked thread says it all.

You are free to say whatever you want and I have no need to even dispute it because we both know whose credibility holds with weight. :cool2:

Focus on the last sentence...it clearly answers your question

.. She's 18, not your age or 30 even.

She's not someone who follows the circular arguing in the debate sections, at least do her the effort of being courteous to answer her questions.

you have no credibility anyway.
you have no theory.

only an agenda.

That line? and how does that give me a bad experience?

Ah, I was answering your last question about parents talking to their kids....lol. Sorry

As for the bad experience....you said you felt her pain

perhaps if you weren't too focused on quibbling around and poking a hornet's nest... there wouldn't be any confusion.

No victim card here. I was trying to take the opportunity to have you educate myself and others on specific examples of posts where superiority is perceived by others.

This is an opportunity to educate us. For those of us who really do enjoy this site (minus the nonsense) and want to continue participating, but in a constructive way.

I'm asking for others to please provide specific examples of posts where parents are "asserting their superiority".
