If your child is "functionally deaf" then she does not hear as well with her CI as you claim she does. Functional levels only apply to when the devise is on and working properly.
You can't have it both ways. There is a difference between literal levels and functional levels, and they are important in the arena of receiving needed accommodaions.
You really need to back off the emotional and personal responses. It clouds your ability to understand what I am saying, and it makes your responses petty and innapropriate.
