Are you asking if children grow up resenting having CIs or resenting how they are treated (like a hearing) BECAUSE they have CIs? Two very different things. I've noticed that the frustrations of a person who grew up with a CI is very similar to a HoH person. They both can hear a lot, but because they can hear a lot, people assume they can hear everything

. Or b/c they are thought to be more "hearing then deaf"

Or it is the CI companies who raised the percentage in order to get more deaf kids implanted. I won't be surprised if they lie in order to gain something in business. Just be careful in where you got the information from.

Ditto. While the CI is AWESOME for those who are obvious right off the bat canidates, it does seem like there's a lot of "Big Pharma" style pushing and playing around with research results.
