Also They have watchdog for heart implants, breast implants, abortions, lap band diets, and medication and etc. but not to cochlear implants? I believe they had lawsuits but they sweep it under the rug! and keep going to earn money.

yes alot of CI suits are settled out of court

the Advance bionics law suit is the first CLASS ACTION lawsuit that i know of. Advance Bionics is the banner at the top of the AG Bell website

A great presentation of facts. If you come to Vancouver, I urge you to be a presenter in one of our Deaf community's activities during the ICED week!

Thanks Patti! I enjoyed your vlogs as well.

Yeah, the second wave of oralism. I shared with my hearing students from Intro to Deaf Community class about it and they don't like it. Interesting.

Wow, it makes sense because the selling of CI's is a "money issue" and that's why we have a second wave of oralism. Deafhood must fight for Deaf's rights! Sigh!!!! It's not easy to say it. At the beginning when they were selling heart implants, after while they got strict with law because of money issues that lead to Dr. scams. So they now are careful- but not for CI's ! since they started from 1982 to today no watchdogs and lawsuits to increase FDA's control of CI's??!!!?
