I was recently told that earlier is better, when making this descision. Because the brain is still moldable, and the CI is more likely to be effective at this age.

I respect everyone's descision. All I was saying was, you shouldnt be suprised that doctors are pushing the implant or aides on kids. Hearing families with deaf children get pressured into implanting thier children on a daily basis, how do I know this? I see it everyday. Im entitled to say that...

For me, initially, it was scary because I didnt really know sign language... but wanted to talk to a person who was deaf or HOH. Its like, when your not around it for a long time, you wonder "do I talk louder? how much to I pronounciate? If I talk a certain way, will this person get offended? Do...

Shes saying that she hates when hearing people take on deafness and sign language because they think its cool, like they arent really connected to it, but want to be recognized as "in" or "unique". I see it all the time. My first initial sign language classes started out with students...
