And you see nothing wrong with that? There are reasons those guidelines are in place, and a reason that things are only recognized as being prescribed for a particular reason. Those guidelines protect the consumer. So, instead, you think it is perfectly fine to add additional risks to the ones already recognized by going off label and ignoring guidelines for age. For what? Spoken language. Create more risk immediately and longitudinally for that child so they will be able to say a few words. And you don't even know when you create that additional risk that the CI will assist them in speaking at all.
Frankly, it just does not make sense. If you love and value your child as a deaf individual, why would you create additional risk for that child to develop side effects and negative consequences to a surgery that is elective at best?
