I am not going to ask you where you got the idea that signing is going to hurt speech, but I find it strange that this kid is nine years old, and never complained about HA before CI. We see that deaf adults sometimes complains about CI, and stop using them, and everyone understands very well. If the child is old enough to complain, is it really legal to ignore the complains?
Also, I am curious what age a child can deny an CI implant? Someone said the age of 12?
I would not say this is totally offtopic as arguments like "no signing" are brought up with this kind of CI use. |
Now you throw in 9 years old... ask him/her why he/she wants to take it off...

That's a first...... what's holding you back? - I'll reply anyway...
Remember that exposure to signlanguage is the best way to learn signlanguage?
The same for speech. When the someone takes off the CI, exposure to speech stops....
Makes sense?
