She told me herself at Spa resort where I was stayed for 5 weeks at 2 years ago. We were recommended to get CI unless we lost our hearing to zero, not HOH...

We met a hearing mother and deaf toddler at spa resort where my hubby attended for 4 weeks last weekends. Surprisely, she told us that the Experts recommended her to attend spa resort to collect experience on cons/pros between HA and CI, not just listen only doctors...

We feed her decision with cons and pros... She accept both sides between Experts and deaf culture before she is able to make her decision either she wear her son HA first or CI straight way? Most of us told her our opinion and explain her why... We will respect if she decide for CI on her toddler which we personally disagree to this.

One guy, we also met at my hubby´s spa resort, too. We made nice converstion last Saturday. He lost his HOH to zero and took it very badly. The doctors convinced him that CI is the best method to help him to hear again... but the Experts told him to not do that yet and recommend him to go Spa resort to make his own decision, not listen anyone. The Expert at Spa resort convinced him that it would be negative on him either after CI surgery if he thought negative a lot... There´re a form of grieving for lost his hearing... then CI surgery is no good... First of all, he MUST cope his grieving first and think positive then able to make decision either he consider to have CI or not. He was already 6 weeks in Spa resort before my hubby attended there. I asked him what he thought about CI. He said that he finally accept what he is and still doubt about CI... He heard about special techology about HA and would try it... If it doesn´t work on him then he will consider CI. Wish him best of good luck.
