Cochlear implants DEFINITELY should not be allowed because the users are so proud of being hearing, yet they still expect to be accepted as deaf?
We have our own choices. If I had cochlear damage instead of auditory damage, I would've gone for cochlear implant. I do support deaf culture, in that instance, my auditory damage prevent cure of any kind, I belong to deaf culture. Cochlear Implant allows us to adapt to our everyday living i.e. communication at workplace, allowing us to accomplish our job duties and things like that, it is a good privilege for us to struggle for the best in our lives.
