I am against cochlear implant because it is cheat!
lots of hearing friends told me that it is cheat if wore cochlear implant.
I was quite impressed by the last topic of yours I replied to. Because for once, it brought up an interesting subject, at least one which was debatable. But now it seems that we're back to the stupid and offensive topics.
Perhaps it would have been better if you had said "CI's wouldn't suit me because - " And then elaborate to say why it wouldn't suit you
personally. (Either physically or psychologically) Instead of implying that everyone who wears a CI is doing wrong by "cheating" - To which, many will find offensive and insulting.
The fact of the matter is that CI's improve the lives of many. Without it, many will simply be unable to have the same quality of life which they're used to. Sure, many live happy lives with profound deafness. However, this isn't the case for everyone. - Especially those who were born with some degree of hearing.
Your silly thread takes nothing away from CI's, or those who wear them. It just makes you look like an ignorant prick.
I think they all don't let you in because your hearing is not 100 percent. what if CI is broken when you are on job and could not able to hear. nope.
CI is a tool or toy to keep sound in your ear. nothing else.
Few people have a level of hearing that is 100%, especially as we age. + We already know of police officers who are/were HoH. Sadly, one lost his life very recently. (In an event completely unrelated to his hearing loss)
Many police officers wear glasses and would not be able to function as a police officer without them. As we know, glasses can break easily. Imo that's a fair and strong argument.
