Being late deafened, now for about 40 years....I do know that if I were eligible for a CI or a hearing aid that would help me hear ANY sound, I would opt for it in a heartbeat.....Unfortunately, I'm not eligible....
I would not call it "fixing" me.....it would make my life more enjoyable.....music...my family when they are talking, etc....
People have surgeries for everything under the sun, whether it being able to walk again, see again or hear again.....I know what I'm missing!
If I had a deaf child, I would expose him/her to any sounds possible, and yes, if a CI would help my child, I would agree to the surgery. But not infants!
I would not think "it was fixing my child"....I would think that it would be helping to give my child a better quality of life.
