Ha..lol. I did tell some of them about this site but they never got caught onto it. I was just talking to a speech teacher today..I dont know how the topic was brought up and she was telling me that she would never get a CI for her child if she has a deaf baby. I asked why and she said she is tired of dealing with many of her students who have CIs complain about headaches from the lound sounds. I said what about mapping and she just said "I give up..sooo COMPLICATED!!!" OOOPPPSSS..seems like I brought up a sensitive topic. She said "Just let Deaf children be deaf.." I told her that u are a speech teacher and u are not supposed to say that and she was like "duh..right! " Seems like she is frustrated by the high expectations put on her to work miracles with the students' oral skills but it doesnt take one person. It takes everyone including the children themselves too. Are the headaches a common thing among CI users? Just curious...none of my students with CIs complain about headaches as far as I know.
