As for the CI war, is that what it was about in SAB Season 3? If so, I only saw Season 1 and 2 and I can't comment on that. It's been so long since I watched SAB.
The CI war will go on and on. I am sure there are a thousand threads on this website about CI you can read.
I've been asked so many times to consider CI, but for me now, I really don't think about getting it. I'm happy where I am now. I have everything. If I get CI, that's great. However, it still won't change people's attitude toward deaf people in general. I am talking about people with all levels of hearing loss. When you lose your hearing loss, you start to learn more about yourself and you probably will be surprised by your friends you thought you knew your entire life who ignore you. You have to ask yourself a question- why do you keep hanging out with your long time friends or relatives or family members who still gave people with all kinds of hearing loss a bad treatment?
My friend is a very sweet and sensitive friend. He has been wearing bilateral CIs for 6 years ago. He considers himself deaf, not Deaf. He can carry conversation well with hearing people. He thought he was going to get his hearing friends back he knew from high school by communicating with them in normal mode. Oh, boy, he was wrong. He didn't like their attitudes toward others who struggle to hear. In fact, he tried to educate them and tell them to be nice, but his friends hadn't changed their attitudes. For instance, they made fun of elderly man with hearing aid. He had enough and finally chose to end their friendships with them and made new friends from now.
