Well let say nope. I think that hearing ppls are tryin to take over deaf world. I agree in my own opinon. And i wanna all deaf to accept of what they was born to be. I decide to have CI 12 yrs old now i dont like it but i had a baby brother whose deaf he got CI 8 mnths old and now he 6 yrs old he kinda against deaf. Well let say he dont go to deaf progam school and he just go to hearing skool he is the only deaf in that skool.
CI :rl: that is
yes exactly, I am extremely angry with pediatrics, audiologist, otolaryngologist, etc. They are hearies. They are very oppressive to the Deaf community due to smallest number of group. They voted with FDA and Consensus Development Conferences in June 1995 without consult or invite the Deaf people in that conference. They do not realize how dangerous are the Deaf children with cochlear implants when they become older. Itself cochlear implants destroy their identities and very ambivalence in two cultures !
I do support your perspective about CI. I had a long term heat debate in other Deaf form for years. I had an interview many doctors, parents and teachers for my term paper at college. It is very difficult for me to stay in netual for listen their pro and con opinion about the CI.
I disagreed with FDA who makes the wrongful decision on the younger ages on Deaf babies to get their CI.
It is really sad because your younger Deaf baby brother choice the hearing world because your parents taught him to particular hearing world since his younger age.
The medical is big issue pressure in this society. There is nothing else, we can do. That is why, I am end up in this debate for years.
you should read
www.cochlearwar.com it is very interesting website !
Otherwise, I do respect the Deaf adults who make their decision because it is their bodies. But... not the infants !
