I will try to make my point more clear.
Ask any deaf person in here......Is being deaf debilitating? The majority if not all of them will say no. When you put a CI in an infant you risk death (a risk with all surgery) debilitating pain, debilitating dizziness not to mention the hardships and potential side effects of have a magnet next to a developing brain..And those risks are taken to "correct " something that most do not find debilitating in the first place.
I believe that it the child's choice. If parents want the best for their child until they are old enough to decide, they should spend their time and money advocating for deaf acceptance
