Passifist, you think it's bad NOW? You should have been around five or six years ago before NAD issued their revised position statements on CIs. THAT was RABID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides the debate is different here. In the UK (and most other countries) it is VERY difficult to get CI, if you get benifit from aids. Whereas in the US you can sometimes get CI if you have pretty good hearing. There are unfortunatly a lot of TrEnDy gadget folks out there who absolutly positively have to have the latest hearing assistance. There's even a rumor that they might open up implantation for UNILATERAL folks!
