Finally they had to wake up themselves with kids should wait until teenager. They haven't test on sport activities while instution (Deaf School) as sweating from the body can caused electric shock. There is alot of headache in their studies. After the surgereon suggest the kids like pre-school to elemetary school some freak accident on the head part can be caused more injury inside of the head. So shouldn't make CI for now until more technican working on that to avoid surgery as normal deaf children as usually as daily basis... For my opinion is against that CI. Since I work at hospital for years see kids that have been freak accident without their control. Hopefully they better off with CI permanently. hopefully the parents should start understanding with kids need enjoy sound not like normal sound exactly normal hearing. Thank you...

they should not be making any ci's. it is really dangerous. they can get infection, spinal megininis or other disease from it. the parents should not be forcing the kids to wear it and it is their wish to wear it. hearing aid is better than ci's because ci's is more expensive than hearing aid. they cannot play sport if they have ci on it. they could be kill if they play sports. how can the hearing parents is soooo mean to the deaf kids. are they afraid of the deaf kids that they couldnt communicate with them. what is wrong with them. i just wish they dont make anymore of them. that is not right to do that and are they try to prejudge the deaf world. look at the school for the deaf in other states including wisconsin they are getting less deaf kids because of the stupid ci. look at the deaf clubs too they are declining the numbers of the deaf people that is because of the stupid ci too. that hurts them. that hurt us too. i am asking u what is wrong with hearing aid.
