The societal need to fix

Emma struggles on a daily basis through the societal need to be fixed. The CI she struggles through it with so many battles; emotionally, socially and psychologically. Emma has so many meltdowns and the Deaf Community lobbies behind her because they understand her pain. The pain just to be Deaf; her ID.

i am Deaf. my parents gave me a CI when i was little kid too. i reacted like the same way. i still don't like my CI and rarely use it. It's always been uncomfortable.

Hearing parents, if your child feels like there is nothing wrong with them, you shouldn't force them to have surgery they don't want, and it just convinces them that there is something wrong with them and they need to be 'fixed' to be just like everyone else!!

good for you, Emma! Don't ever forget that you are Deaf! good luck!!

I read from the grandma that the audiologist had a fixed volume on this processor. She did this because the girl kept turning it down. I think this is one of those processor that come with an remote. So I wonder if the mother won't let the father have the remote. It's too bad they can't lower the volume. The father have the rights to handle this situation on his own that he see fit. You can't sue everyone, including the grandma, for not making her wear it.

@FirefliesButterflies Hi FirefliesButterflies, thank you for your insight. This is where the community has to gather together to support Emma. Emma has her rights and at the moment; they are being denied.

I like it, Although, the saying "I can't get them at all" she was referring to her wig tape that help hold her headpiece. The grandma wanted her to pick them up but she was making excuses not to wear it by saying "I can't get them at all"

This is Emma's Grandma. Her mom got the left CI remapped and she seemed fine with it this weekend. But she still tells us she would like to hearing with her mom and deaf with her deaf dad when she wants to be.
