Thom, thanks for answering my questions! I feel like I understand the issue a little better now.
ReplyDeleteAnytime. Feel free to ask questions anytime :-)
ReplyDeleteI would think you better wait til the new technology that would improve the hearing since I am profound deaf since toodle. I have hear that stem that can grow the better nerve and hair inside the ears will stand up. I hope that will be done soon so they can do it on humans.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing more in the deaf cultured community being accepting of cochlear implants, definitely the extremists are totally against it. Many within the deaf community now have it. However, for the extremists - for the most part - seem to see it as being okay if one were old enough to decide. Yet, many do not understand why it is important to have implants early as one year old. If many were to decide to have em later in life, the success would not be evidenced as it would be for those implanted as an infant.
ReplyDeleteI think over time, cochlear implants will be less controversial.
Used to be I thought implanting babies were cruel, that was five years ago. Now, the more I understand why it's critical to implant earlier, my views have totally changed. If mine has changed, others will too. Except for the extremists, of course. ;)
@wymoosehead-That's what I heard as well. Stem cells has made amazing progress in the last ten years and I'm excited to see where it will take us in the next ten years!
ReplyDelete@candy-I certainly hope that within time cochlear implants will be less controversial in the future.
