As an ci wearer, i watched the video, and was not surprised about the comments. Even if it is true or not I don't know, its all part of the risks of getting a CI, but it is our choice, (children exception!) we adults have our own decision and are aware of the risks of getting a ci, but we still chose to go for the surgery. It is the same idea as smokers who knew the risks of smoking would cause cancer, or drinkers took the risk of getting a kidney failure, everything has risks, every decisions has risks, no matter what kind of decisions there are ALWAYS risks of some sorts, or ALWAYS have pros and cons, we just have to weight those pros and cons before deciding to get one or not. And those who already gotten one had already went through the tough decision to decide, so why do anti-ci people go around bashing people who have gotten one. It just an hearing device. Do people go bashing around people with hearing aids. No, do people go around bashing people with prosestic (sp?) Same for causing worries like saying this causes cancer or whatever, does anybody here go around town yelling at people who smokes "smoking can cause cancer!!" or drinkers "drinking alcohol can make your kidney fail" we already get those advices from the experts, advertising and shit, we don't need ordinary people telling us how to live our life.

God gave me a wonderful, stubborn etc. child with Down Syndrome, ASD, PDA and hearing loss. She underwent open heart surgery for the ASD & PDA, bypass means they stop the heart to connect it, the biggest risk to her was the fact that when they restart the heart they sometimes lose them big risk, and at age 18 months underwent surgery to place typany (sp?) tubes. She has had other elective surgeries to help make her life eaiser and more pleasant (who needs alot of ear infections when tubes do help most, who needs goopy eyes when a tear duct probe might help...it didn't etc etc) Modern technology that gives the deaf hearing at before unheard of levels is to a gift of God. God does not mean for us to be static and never change or improve options.

I have reconstructed my hearing. And love it.
