There is something out there that not many hearing people are aware of, its called the Deaf community. It is thier own world within a hearing world. Being deaf is what links them to one another, its what they have in common. For many they are deaf and proud of it. In some cases they are very defensive towards hearing people and it can be nearly impossible for a hearing person to be accepted. When a deaf person chooses to recieve Cochlear implants they run the risk that they may not be accepted anymore. Cochlear implants can be offensive because its as if the person is "correcting" themselves when they shoud be deaf and proud of it.
As far as the surgery itself, it is very invasive and very painful, this raises the question, should a minor have this operation?
There are many opinins out there by deaf and hearing people over this, for the sake of time i wont get into many opinions. But you already heard Tysons feelings on it.
