This is a really good post from Paula Rosenthal. It is very professional and nonjudgmental. I like the suggestion of contacting other parents and joining a support group. I appreciate the comment about the marketing materials. And she's right...there's more to CI than just implanting it - there's a lot that has to be done afterwards - learning how to use it and practicing using it for auditory comprehension and training. That's why it is so important you do the research and talk with people - deaf people, deaf parents, hearing parents, doctors, etc. as well. I wish you and your child the very best.
