At that time, many in the deaf community reacted with alarm

March 24, 2011 - PRLog -- There were unfounded fears of deaf culture dying, countless debates in the deaf press, and even public protests.
What is a Cochlear Implant

Today, much of the early opposition has quieted down and in its place appears to be a grudging acceptance of cochlear implants, now commonly referred to by some as "an internal hearing aid." However, cochlear implants are not the same thing as implantable hearing aids because cochlear implants use electricity to stimulate the auditory nerve while implantable hearing aids are regular hearing aids. Hearing aids only amplify sound, while a cochlear implant bypasses the damaged hair cells in the ear. More deaf adults -- culturally deaf or not -- are choosing to get cochlear implants, and parents are routinely getting them for their deaf children.

Qualifying for a Cochlear Implant
Not everyone can qualify for a cochlear implant. A candidate can be rejected if he has too much residual hearing for a cochlear implant. This is because a cochlear implant destroys whatever natural hearing remains in the implanted ear.

People who receive cochlear implants are still deaf. They are totally deaf when their implants are turned off. This isn't much different from what I experienced wearing a hearing aid. Like today's implantees, I was either "on the air" or "off the air."

The decision whether or not to implant a child or to get one yourself is a very personal, deliberate one. There are risks (including the risks associated with any surgery), however minimal. These risks include facial nerve injury and infection in the surgical area. About.com has an animated video on cochlear implant surgery. Without tremendous commitment to working to develop auditory skills, an implant may not produce good results. The question of whether to get a cochlear implant is one I have faced myself.
