Not really.
If the only deaf person you know personally is your child, and you are not deaf yourself, you do not experience the same things deaf people do first hand.
So, you may not have personally witnessed anyone pressuring their child or deaf people being pressured and I believe you. but I am saying it definitely happens. It happened to me and it happened to deaf people I know. We do talk about CIs and we do talk about how family, friends, school and doctors can put pressure on us to get implanted.
You and GrendelQ may not have witnessed this personally and it's likely because you're not deaf.
I just don't like the suggestion that if you didn't experience it personally, that what others are saying must be mistaken or exaggerated or false.
