If you feel you have to make sure she have access, is it because you feel her deafness is hindering her?
And yes, your child will be who she is no matter what, but it is also true that if you didn't have CI, she would be a different person than she is. And if she was hearing, she'll definitely be a different person. It would as if she never was deaf. Either way, I know we all love our child no matter what. (but there are parents who seem tend to treat deafness/hearing is extremely important to them -- kinda like how some parents expect their child to be good at sports, or make straight A's, etc.)
There are few people who feel deafness should not define them.
