You are wrong for that is neither what Fuzzy said nor implied. No one is saying that deaf people need a ci to lead a successful life, in fact for some deaf people they would not even qualify for a ci. However there is a certain reality to having all five senses intact.
That does not mean that a person who does not is "less" of a person or they "cannot" achieve things or lead "successful" lives as there are many examples of people both on this board and outside of this board who do.
To me, it just comes back to my very simple question: what is wrong about being able to hear? And then my next question: for those who get no benefits from HAs, what better method is there for them to access sounds and to possibily acquire speech then a cochlear implant?
So we can continue ad infinitum in this circular argument or just accept the fact that there are different paths we have either chosen for our children or for ourselves and move on.
