The CI most certainly was available when my son was young. I chose not to implant. My son is now an adult, and can chose for himself. He has chosen not to be implanted. He does not see how the quality of his life could be improved by the introduction of sound. He finds his life quite satisfactory and fulfilling just as he is. Being without a CI certainly hasn't stopped him from achieving anything he has chosen to undertake.
