Who it effects

pg 172 Dr. Campbell is quoted saying "the deaf are, as a general rule, very sensitive over their infirmity"

Moving Forward
-
-
After FDA approval ~120,000 people worldwide had received cochlear implant

Many families and individuals were advised to not get the implant because it will not "cure" deafness. Were advised to speak with Deaf and Hard of Hearing people and to do research

Cochlear Implants are still being implanted but more parents are waiting until their child is older to do the implant/have the child decide if they want the implant
