I can recommend a book for you that might be helpful: The Parents' Guide to Cochlear Implants by Patrica M. Chute and Mary Ellen Nevins. It is a little biased but the authors strived to be objective. (my personal opinion here). That's one book you can start with. Do your research fully by using all the sources you can get your hands on and try to understand both sides before making your decision. If you can, talk with people in the Deaf community, especially ones who have CIs themselves. Regardless what you decide, it should to be YOUR decision. You know your kids better than anyone...and you know what they need best.
