In order to have a cochlear implant, I think you have to have Sensorineural hearing loss or something similar. If you are seriously considering it, if you go for hearing tests occasionally, ask your audiologist.

@plapnab

It definitely is an option, don't just research on the internet though. Ask your doctor/s and let them give you information!

And now that you know my stance, I just have to ask the same question you posed to me, are you deaf? Have you ever had to face this type of decision, and are you a cochlear implant recipient, if you aren't, YOU are the one that has no idea what the procedure entails. Don't make this about ASL and deaf culture, Cochlear implants are an option to a person who wants it, everyone else can just go about their lives, what business is it of theirs?

@loveHuera81 I have incredible respect for her, but my sister did not want that path to be HER LIFE. She wanted something different. It should be about what works for the INDIVIDUAL, not what everybody else wants. My sister would NEVER go back to hearing aids, EVER. The only regret she has is not getting it done sooner. I am fine with ASL and even know a few phrases, but my sister is oral. I don't believe it cures deafness, there is no cure. I see it as an enhancement available to who wants it

No, I am not deaf but my sister is and she is a cochlear implant recipient. I have seen first hand what she went through. My parents raised her to believe that she can do anything. They asked her if she wanted a cochlear implant at the age of ten and she said yes. We had a load of crap from the deaf community, but my parents ignored it because it was what she WANTED. My sister is now a university student and doing quite well. I have seen Marlee on things and I do have respect for

@lovelycaitie89 > First of all... are you deaf? if not, you can't possibly understand what if feels like to go through a surgery like this. Wearing glasses and putting on plastic things on your face NOT IN in your ear is totally different which BTW this "Cochlear" surgery takes years to get use to and is VERY painful. The best thing to do for your children is learn and teach them ASL! Have you seen Marlee Matlin? She's accomplished so much. There is NOTHING that woman can't do & she's DEAF

Who invented this Cochlear surgery? A Hearing Dr!!!

The best thing to do for your child is learn and teach them ASL!!!!

Stem Cell > cochlear implant

human + machine = 40% success

organ + Metal  = Cyborg

Human + Stem cell = 80-100% success

organ + new organ = 100% human

Don't be IDIOT! School for deaf are available since 1830s!!!! don't fuckin put a machine thing on your child!
