Surgery Before 1st Birthday Best for Deaf Kids

Tsk...poor kids. When they grow up, they would decide whether use cochlear or not. It is up to them. Deaf ROCK!

We were fortunate to meet Dr. Kang of Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, and to be friends with Jonah's family. Thank you all for your hard work and help.

I am a long-term CI user, and I am about to graduate as an audiologist. I couldn't have achieved half of what I have in life without the CI. Good on the parents here!

Both of our boys were implanted under 12 months, one at 9 months (in 2001) and the other at 6 and 11 months very recently. We are very pleased, and our older son has had age appropriate speech for years. It is very true that implanting infants makes language acquisition easier and faster!
