Got it, I remember you telling that story, which I think is pretty terrible. I also don't think anyone should be made to feel forced, and people should be secure in a decision not to get a CI. It's a huge decision, it's not right for everyone, and while easy for a child to quickly adapt, for an adult, it takes a lot of work, commitment, and while the surgery alone is a huge obstacle, the surgery itself has got to be just one small part of a broader decision about lifestyle and communication goals in general.
