It is so controversial and in my opinion it is one that will ALWAYS be controversial. I was told one time by a deaf adult that I should have my son taken away from me for child abuse because we implanted him w/a CI. I was told by another deaf adult when we were deciding if we wanted to do the CI that if it makes him HOH instead of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30969977.post-48711832044256521702007-09-28T21:01:00.000-07:002007-09-28T21:01:00.000-07:00Karen,I've been holding onto something for awhile ...Karen,<BR/><BR/>I've been holding onto something for awhile and finally passed it along to you, check out Eboy's page whenever you get time.<BR/><BR/>HethaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30969977.post-24869492366057651272007-09-27T09:18:00.000-07:002007-09-27T09:18:00.000-07:00I couldn't read the article that was given in the ...I couldn't read the article that was given in the link.

I haven't yet read it, but I wonder the same thing. I've met many late-deafened adults with cochlear implants. Not children.
