Lesson 11 Deaf Culture:

-Cochlear implants have a portion that must be placed surgically.
-Implant doesn't restorer normal hearing.
-Coclear implants are very different from hearing aide, hearing aids amplify sounds, coclear implants bypass damaged parts and stimulate the auditory nerve.
-Process of getting a cochlear implant usually requires MRI, X-rays and counseling.

For- It can provide a sense of sound, for example, if in a fire and the alarm goes off, the person could hear it and understand there is an  emergency situation. It also is very beneficial to young children.

Against- It's a long process that requires surgery and doesn't work all that well.

Im for it in some situations but I don't think anyone has to get one to live their life. It may make it easier on a young child, and provide a sense of sound, but the sound is different. Its up to the person to decide if its for them or not.
