I am discussing deaf children and hearing parents, vallee. CI is secondary to the discussion. The topic is deaf children, hearing parents, and the emotional and psycho-social reasons that hearing parents deny deaf chldren bicultural exposure and contact. I don't know how I can make it any clearer than that. If the CI gets mentioned as a reason that parents deny exposure and contact, then we need to address the reasons that a parent would use a CI as justification for that, not the CI itself. If any more posts attempt to reduce this to a judgement on CI implantation, I will request that the posts be removed.
