Exactly. The comprehensive services are simply not being offered. The CI is being presented as the sloution to all of the pproblems associated with deafness, when in reality, it assists only with the auditory aspect. If clinics and manufacturers are goingto promote and engage in implantation surgeries, then they also need to abide by the ethical guidelines that assist those patients in fucntioning optimally once the surgery has been performed.
