You should not implant a child until he/she becomes an legal adult to decide for themselves if they want the procedure. Especially after they have been given a well informed decision, the pros and the cons of having a CI as well as the dangerous medical consequences that the procedure may bring, rejection and meningitis post-op.
If a parent(s) informs the child with a full medical knowledge as well as the possible consequences medically and if the child feels very uncomfortable with the procedure and doesn't want it. Are you as a parent(s) still going to force the procedure anyway, despite of the child's personal feelings? Are you going to treat the child like a piece of property rather than a human being capable of feelings?
