Nope..
...nooo,
I knew you would get it. Its not complicated at all just that those opposed to cis are just too biased and too caught up in spreading lies, myths and misinformation.

GOOD POST!!!
,
.
Ok where to start
Since my last post Emily has been going for relevant testing and various scans to see if she would definately benefit from the ci.
a meeting last week with various professionals resulted in all 4 of them deciding it is the best way forward for her.
although im still against it and dont really want her to get the implants i have decided to put my feelings aside and do what will benefit or be best for her in the long run her mum was in two minds and said she would stick with my decission so to put it all in my court and would only go against me if i was in the wrong.
they say she is already above the age they would normally implant and she has just turned 6 and she only qualifies for 1 ear to be implanted on the NHS too but they decided she may still get full benefit from it and hear withing the normal hearing range for speech
her hearing does seem to of deteriarated letely and i desperately didnt want for her to loose her residual hearing and also her deaf roots.
i have been told she will be able to be working in class and still here whats going on from the teacher where as at the moment she relys on lip reading and signs more so it should make a big impact on her learning because she is a keen learner and reall likes to try.
i hope this is the best way forward for her and i know its going to be a long and rough process to get her used to using the ci properly but im confident she will pick it up quickly and make the most of them aswell and in time i hope she will be able to get her other ear implanted and make the level of hearing she gets even more even if i have to go private.
i look forward to reading any comments or words of wisdom you can offer and i thank you all for your time and previous or future posts

I would prefer hearing aids. My son wearing hearing aids but he doesn't like them and take it off after an hour. He's 2 half. I am deaf too. I don't care if he want hearing aids or not. He don't know how to talk oral. I don't too. We both signing all the way and very understand eachother and other people who know signs too. We can learn reading, english, math, anything without hear the sound or without talk oral. We use our hands only. But i would want my son to go to speech, to learn how to talk oral with hearing aids on. If he can't hear very good or can't understand the letter, then things can drops and back to using ASL only.
Myself, i don't have good english at all, way sucks grammar. Which I don't know why but most of them said because I am deaf, can't hear anything. Some of them said because I wasn't motive to learn how to writing. Or maybe my mind is just slow to learn. But other deaf people can writing very good english, perfect english or anything. Depends on who.
I am happy and proud to be full deaf.
