Oral death?! Eek!
That seems rather severe.
Maybe they're talking to the dead .

Most profoundly deaf children are implanted today. I think I have read the figure is close to 85%. Most kids in oral deaf programs have severe to profound losses.So, that program is only for children with some hearing, whether natural or aided. It's not for profoundly deaf children; more of a hard-of-hearing program, not a deaf program.

That's not true. CI won't work for that large a percentage of deaf.
Still, 85% seems high, and is way more than over half.I am pretty sure way over half of the deaf babies out there today are being cochlear implanted.
Aug 29, 2012 - Roughly 40 percent of children who are born profoundly deaf now receive a cochlear implant, which is a 25 percent increase from five year

Some people can not distinguish sounds at all and an implant will not help them . I met people that can't wear a hearing aid as they not distinguish sounds , I am no longer able use my right ear to talk on the phone because of the auto accident an teenage driver cause . I can't distinguish sounds in my right ear anymore.
For a durable medical device that's been around for only 25 years, it sure feels/smells like genocide......
Then why is it an oral death program?That seems a little, over the top. They're implanting people, not killing them.

Yeah, and?
Like you said....seems....how about killing the culture?
If you can't distinguish sounds having an implant or HA is going to help .
Maybe it's a type of eugenics?Like you said....seems....how about killing the culture?
