Cloggy-I totally repect your wishes. I can see that you are doing the best Lotte, some people here even said you are very good person.
The reason I was frustrated is not willing to open mind. Earlier comments is very limited view, because I already know what is going to happen for your daughter: How much hearing she can HEAR. But the barriers will always be around like one example that popped up was: Language delay, as you mentioned earlier, that happens a lot with deaf people. Of course your daughter can hear this and that but what does it hold in the future for her?
I apologize for telling you to "shut up" but I said with all due respect. I can not come up with better words because I have language delay(if I think it will take me DAYS or MONTHS before I can think of better words and itll be too late). But I can not let anyone superior my beliefs. Little off subject: If I had the chance I want to go back to college and learn English.
What jillio has been said are valuable resources, and parents should learn from her. Her resources are the KEY to success for CI, HA and deaf people.
I wish there was some way that all of the deaf and hearing people can unite and learn from each other without bashing but it seems too hard because we are sometimes narrow mind.
Cloggy you are entitled to your opinion at anytime. And I will try not to bash unintentionally because yes your words are valuable too.
