I KNOW DEAF CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR EMOTIONS AND FRUSTRATION. CHILDREN WITH CI THAT CANT PLAY SPORTS, IT S DANGEROUS FOR CI AND CAN CAUSE INJURIES. THERE ARE HEALTH PROBLEMS WITH CI'S ALSO. SOME PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM SICKNESSES DUE TO COCHLEAR IMPLANTS. SOME ILLINESSES ARE: LIVER PROBLEMS, POISON WITH YELLOW SKIN, SEIZERES, NERVE PROBLEMS, TUMOR BRIAN AND MANY OTHERS. PARENTS HAVE PROBLEM TO PAY FOR THE MEDICAL BILLS. THE MEDICAL BILLS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE BUT NOT AS CHEAP AS BEFORE. I WONT WANT TO SEE CHILDREN OR ADULTS WHO HAVE SUFFER LIKE THAT. I WILL BE SORRY FOR YOU. I OPPOSE WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS. IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!! I FEEL SO UPSET FOR THEM. I HEARD ABOUT COCHLEAR IMPLANTS PATIENTS WHO HAVE HAD EAR INFECTIONS AND HEADACHES. THEY HAVE COLD SO THEY HAVE TO GO THE DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL. THEY GIVE YOU AN IV AND MEDICINE TO HELP WITH PAIN. EIGHTY PERCENTS CHILDREN AND ADULTS HAVE DIED FROM CI. PLEASE TELL AGBELL HAVE TO STOP ABOUT CI PROGRAM AND REMOVE IT RIGHT NOW.. THANKS,NANCY MAGLIOCCHINO

May 24, 2008: 02:57 PMI have a Cochlea Implant when I was 7 years old. My mom and I not know about cochlea implant. But my mom found out about cochlea implant from the doctor who surgery put to human cochlea. The doctor suggested to us why not put use Cochlea Implant for would help hear better and speak very well. But it is not help for me because my speech is very not well like not perfect. I do not like very big noise make me very often headaches. Cochlea Implant make me always very stress, headaches, confuse, fed up a lots, and everything. My mom still force me must use Cochlea Implant but I hate it! I try to understand listen to hear in the world but too much noisy for me. If my future deaf children I wont give them for Cochlea Implant. I want make happy my future children. I really very cherish my future children. I feel bad of many deaf babies had cochlear implant and I look at them. That made me very sad. My friend had cochlear implant because already my friend died from infection. I wish remove metal machine something in my head. I do not like that someone put technology my body that is my own body!

May 09, 2008: 09:28 PMFinally 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...
