God also gave us the ability to develop these technologies. I believe that parents must make a decision for their children. There is nothing wrong with either decision--to go for the implants or not. We should not condemn or judge these parents for doing what they did. It was done from love.

no doctor can perform a surgery to make u hearing its just a 40,000 dollar waste! and the CONS of a cochlear surgery are pretty signifigant! do you tell the parents those? im sorry i want my child to play sports like a normal child and not feel as if i made him some kind of robot for MY SAKE! there are so many deaf PROFESSIONALS! whats wrong with being deaf? ASL is so beautiful and its a foundation of language that promotes leaning to tbe BEST of their ability! i have 3 boys and 2 are hearing and 1 is deaf and ALL my children sign! and its so beautiful that my son can come home and tell us about his day and be open and honest with how he feels.... not pushed in a corner and FORCED to speak! PLEASE know that what you are doing is wrong on so many levels... trust that God gave u a child perfect in every way and trust that he knows what hes doing!

you are promoting a deaf person "magically" becoming hearing??! seriously thats never going to happen they will still be deaf when the hearing aid or MAGNET comes off their head! honestly its so wrong to lead parents who have never had any exposure to the deaf world to believe their child can be "like them" do u know how many deaf people grow into ADULTS and resent their parents for doing this to them... why cant you accept them for who they are and what God gave you? why change what he did? at the end of the day when u take the hearing aid off and the magnet off you are still deaf and thats the way its supposed to be,,,, i have a 9 yr old deaf son and God gave me this TREMENDOUS BLESSING and i love exactly what God gave me a DEAF child! STOP promoting "miracles"!!!
